How to Participate
- Go to our school Math Challenge page https://www.mathinaction.org/welsh-hills-school.html. Print out the current Math Challenge.
- Solve as many problems as you can. We encourage you to discuss strategies and solutions with your parents and siblings.
- Submit your solutions by the due date to your class folder on the Math Challenge bulletin board at school.
- Students who submit at least 12 sets of complete challenges will get a surprise at the end of the year! (It's only a surprise because we haven't decided what it will be yet).
The program is completely free and no sign-up is necessary. 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 get involved in discussing and solving them. Schedules and problem-solving strategies are available at www.mathinaction.org.
The first math challenge will be available online on September 27th. You have only a few days to complete the first math challenge. Due date is October 3rd (no later than 3 p.m.). Good luck!
