Contact person for MC Program at Granville Elementary: Laura Weaver at lweaver@granvilleschools.org
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.
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.

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. Schedules and problem-solving strategies are available at www.mathinaction.org.

The first math challenge will be available online on September 25th, and you have only a few days to complete the first math challenge. Due date is October 9th (for in person students) and October 14th (for remote students).  Four lucky winners will be announced during the morning announcements on Thursday, October 15th and in the weekly GES newsletter. Good luck!
