The PS 29 Summer Math Challenge is back! Hard copies will be sent home with all students. You can also print out the packets straight from our Summer Math page. Students who complete the challenge will be celebrated in the fall!
The Summer Math page also offers some targeted resources and tasks for students who can use extra practice over the summer with certain skills or content areas.
This spring, students in Grades 1-5 had the chance to participate in their grade’s lunchtime math club - teachers collected a list of interested students, and any students who were interested had the chance to either attend a lunchtime session, or engage with the activities during a special choice time in their own classroom. In Kindergarten, each class had 4-5 sessions of a special math-focused choice time led by Ms. Van Duzer in their own classroom. In 4th and 5th grade this year, we are piloting a Math Olympiads program.
The activities introduced during math clubs have been specially selected because they foster perseverance, problem solving, STEM-related skills, and joy! Check out these photos for proof of math joy!

Slides from all of our past workshops are available on our Parent Workshops page.
Once again this year, we hosted "Helping with Math Homework" workshops for families in every grade, 1-5. Math Coach Office Hours, every Friday morning from 9-10 am, also offer an opportunity for parents to learn more about the math their children are encountering across the grades.
Who is the PS 29 math coach, and what does a math coach do, anyway?
