What is Math Challenge Program?
Math Challenge program is a free school-wide math enrichment program for elementary students consisting of series of challenging and interesting math problems.
It is an exciting and enriching mathematical journey designed to ignite the problem-solving skills of elementary students. The program provides 15 sets of challenges throughout the school year; each set is published every other week starting in late September and ending in May.
These math challenges cover problem solving strategies such as draw a picture or model, make an organized list, look for a pattern, working backward, and guess and check. Each challenge presents 12 to 18 problems ordered by level of difficulty, which enables students from various grade-levels to participate. Problems are suitable for grade 1 through 6 and students in kindergarten are welcome to try.
Math Challenge Set 2 starts september 27th and is due on October 9th.
