New Math Enrichment Program for Granville Elementary School!
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.

How to Participate
- Go to our school Math Challenge page at https://www.mathinaction.org/granville-elementary.html to print out the current Math Challenge.
- Solve as many problems as you can (more than you require to doJ). We encourage you to discuss strategies and solutions with your parents and siblings.
- Submit your solutions by the due date. Bring your solution to the Math Challenge bulletin board and place into your grade level pocket.
- Prize winners are randomly selected from qualified submissions. Announcement will be on Monday following 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. Schedules and problem-solving strategies are available at www.mathinaction.org.
The first math challenge will be available online on September 27th, and you have only a few days to complete the first math challenge. Due date is October 10th (no later than 3:30 p.m.). Four lucky winners will be announced at the morning announcement on Monday, October 14th. Good luck!
