General Information
- Math Challenge is free and no-sign up is necessary.
- All K-5 students at Starkweather Elementary are invited to participate.
- This is a great opportunity for families to be involved and enjoy math together through fun and engaging math problems. We encourage parents, guardians, siblings to get involved in discussing and solving the problems.
- Please submit your solutions to each Math Challenge by the due date. Refer to the Schedule Calendar for dates on when the challenges and their solutions will be available on this website.
How to Participate
- Print out the current Math Challenge (blue button above). We will not be accepting answers that are not written on the math challenge paper in the correct spaces. Any student who is unable to print one at home may pick one up in the main office.
- Solve as many problems as you can. Be sure to pay attention to the minimum number of problems required for your grade.
- Submit your solutions to the box in the main office OR to Ms. Sommer directly in Portable 29 by the due date listed on the schedule. Work must be shown if it’s appropriate. If work is shown on a separate sheet, staple it to the math challenge worksheet.
- Papers will be returned to students after being graded so they can check the solutions online.
Ms. Sommer will keep track of your submissions. Prize drawings will occur a few times throughout the year. Recognition will be given at the end of the year for those who regularly participate. More importantly, your problem-solving abilities will grow!
