What is the Math Challenge?
The Math Challenge program is a free school-wide math enrichment program for elementary students consisting of a series of challenging and interesting math problems.
The program provides 15 sets of challenges throughout the school year; each set is published intermittently (schedule provided below) starting in late September and ending in May. These math challenges cover problem solving strategies such as drawing a picture or model, making an organized list, looking for a pattern, working backward, and guessing and checking. Each challenge presents 10 to 18 problems ordered by level of difficulties which enables students from various grades to participate.
