Math Challenge

What is Math Challenge?

Math Challenge program is a self paced free school-wide math enrichment program for elementary students. It consists of series of challenging and interesting math problems to foster critical thinking. 

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 10 to 18 problems ordered by level of difficulties which enables students from various grades to participate.
