General Information
Math Challenge is designed to give elementary students opportunities to sharpen their mathematical problem-solving skills. There will be 15 sets of challenges every other week starting in late September and ending at the end of May. All students K to Grade 5 are invited to participate.
Throughout the challenges, the program covers problem solving strategies such as draw a picture or model, make an organized list, look for a pattern, working backward, and guess and check.
We will keep track of your submissions. We give recognition to students who at least complete 12 sets of challenges. Please submit your solutions to each Math Challenge by the due date.
The program is completely free and no sign-up is necessary. This is a great opportunity for families to be involved and enjoy math through fun and engaging math problems. We encourage parents and siblings to get involved in discussing and solving them.
Refer to the Schedule Calendar for dates on when the challenges and their solutions will be available on this webpage.
