How to Participate 

​Math Challenge is a free & optional math enrichment program for students. This is a great opportunity for families to be involved and enjoy math through fun and engaging math problems. We encourage parents and siblings to participate in discussing strategies and solutions with the student. There will be 15 sets of challenges published approximately every other week throughout the school year, and each set will present 10-18 problems ordered by level of difficulty.

• You can work with others, take it home to work with your family, or try it on your own. 
• Place the completed Math Challenge papers in the designated Math Challenge Box in Ms. Kelsy’s room by the due date listed. 
• Every student that completes a challenge with the predetermined correct answers can pick a prize.
