General Information
Welcome to the Timberline Math Challenge! All students in grades K-5 are invited to participate. The program is completely FREE and no sign-up is necessary.
This is a great opportunity for families to get involved and enjoy math together through fun and engaging math problems. We encourage families and siblings to work together to discuss and solve these challenges. Students are encouraged to utilize problem solving strategies such as draw a picture or model, make an organized list, look for a pattern, and guess and check.
Students who participate in the challenge will receive recognition and will earn prizes along the way for completing multiple challenges.
