- Students should submit their completed math challenge to their teacher (don’t forget to include your name and class on it) by the due date.
- Students will be entered into a raffle to win a prize for their completed math challenge, and the winners will be announced the day after the challenges are due. The class that turns in the most Math Challenges will also get an extra recess. If you complete at least 8 challenges, you will also receive an award at the end of the program for all your hard work!
Good luck, Wilkins Wildcats!
