Math Challenge 2026-2027

Newcastle Families!
Welcome to the Math Challenge Program (MCP) at Newcastle Elementary School! Students.

What is Math Challenge?
Math Challenge provides students with opportunities to sharpen mathematical problem-solving skills. It's also an avenue for families to become involved and enjoy math together. The program is FREE to all K-5 students and no sign-up is necessary.
There will be 15 sets of challenges released every other week from October through May. Lucky winners are chosen from each grade level for each Math Challenge. Students who complete 12 or more Math Challenges will receive a medal/trophy at the end of the school year.

👨‍👩‍👧 For Families:
​We encourage families to explore the challenges together. Discussing strategies and ideas is a great way to build problem-solving skills.
