How to Participate
Feel free to print out the problems on your own by clicking on the link above (CURRENT MATH CHALLENGE). IF you cannot print them, Mrs. Juran will have the current challenge page printed and hanging on the inside of the GATE classroom door after it is released.
1. On the current Math Challenge page, print your name and your math teacher's name at the top of the page. You must stay up to date and complete the correct number of problems or more before the due date to enter that page. The Challenge does not allow late entries. All work must be submitted to the Math Challenge competition before the solution release date printed at the end of the challenge packet.
2. Solve as many problems as you can! Try to solve a few more than your grade level minimum! Be sure to pay attention to the minimum number of problems that are expected for your grade level.
3. You are allowed and encouraged to ask HUMANS for help (parents, siblings, teachers, etc.) on the problems, but must be able to explain your work to Mrs. Juran on your own. If you need strategies for solving the problems, click on the PROBLEM SOLVING STRATEGIES at the top of this page for more information.
4. Submit your solutions by dismissal. on the due date by placing the problems on Mrs. Juran's table in the GATE room, or by turning your packet into the office. Please make sure that your answers are neat and can be easily read.
Once the solutions have been posted, you can check online to see the answers.
Mrs. Juran will keep all completed papers in student folders. You may compare your answers to the released answers after they are posted. Recognition will be given for those who complete 10 or more challenge packets over the school year!
