Q&A:
I just found out about Math Challenge and have missed several of the challenges. Is it to late to participate? Absolutely not! You are welcome to start participating at any point during the year.
What if we get problems wrong? Getting problems wrong means you are working on hard enough problems and we LOVE that! Math Challenge posts solutions after each problem set. Take time to study the solutions. If you don’t understand a solution, please contact us and we’ll walk you through it.
How do we find out what the answers are? The solutions posted by Math Challenge include the problem answers. We encourage you to check them.
Have a question we don’t have listed? Please email Sherry@NNVMath.org.
- Print out the current Math Challenge, write school name at the very top, and fill in the top section
- Solve as many problems as you can. We suggest you solve as many problems as you can but do complete at least the minimum number required for your grade. We encourage you to discuss strategies and solutions with your parents, siblings, and classmates.
- Submit your solutions by the due date to Admin@NNVMath.org. Please format subject line to include the Challenge number and your name (ex: Challenge #1 – Sherry Griffin). Challenges may also be dropped off at NNVMath’s Clubhouse or at other NNVMath programs – as long as they are received by the deadline.
- Solutions will be posted online as the schedule states at www.mathinaction.org.
