Hello all and happy back-to-school-ness!!! Here is the Moorlands Math Challenge Calendar for the 2020-21 school year! You can access the website directly here: https://www.mathinaction.org/moorlands.html
How to Participate
Our goal this year is to have a little livestream video/info session that comes out on the Friday AM that addresses the "theme" of the newest math challenge. So this would happen on Sept 25th, Oct 9th, etc. Time TBD - but will be recorded and posted to access at your convenience.
The Math Challenge program is a free school-wide math enrichment program for elementary students consisting of series of challenging and interesting math. Students can participate online only or participate in work groups at school. See scheduled times below.
The program provides 15 sets of challenges throughout the school year; each set is published intermittently (schedule provided) starting in late September or early October and ending in May. These math challenges cover problem solving strategies such as draw a picture or model, make an organized list, look for a pattern, working backward, and guess and check. Each challenge presents 10 to 18 problems ordered by level of difficulties which enables students from various grades to participate.
What are the benefits of the Math Challenge Program?
The purpose of this program is to entice, engage and challenge students to solve interesting math problems while along the way, strengthen their math fundamentals, critical thinking, problem solving skills and improve confidence in math. Students can also involve their families to help and engage in a fun discussion to solve math problems.

HOW TO GET CREDIT FOR YOUR WORK THIS YEAR??
Once the student has completed the challenge (the appropriate number of problems for their grade level) and the parent and child have corrected them together using the answer set that will come available on Oct 9th, Oct 23rd etc - the parent will email us at mathchallenge@moorlandspta.org and let us know that they have completed each set.
If there are problems that are particularly sticky or confusing for the set - we may do another live-stream to review the problem as a group. Feel free to vote/nominate problem numbers by posting here on the group or emailing us.
As far as MOEMs - I will be posting these extra and more challenging problems throughout the year here online for everyone's enjoyment.
Thank you - looking forward to another great year of calculating!!
