Math Superstars- Optional Challenges!
The Math Superstars program has 10 weeks of worksheets for Kindergarten and 20 weeks for Grades 1-6 available to do over the course of the year starting now. Students are asked to complete one worksheet per week containing an average of 8-10 problems. The problem sets, while often challenging, ask students to stretch their math skills to solve practical problems and develop critical thinking. It is important to remind your child that he/she is not expected to know the answers to or be able to complete every problem. Feel free to move up or down a grade depending on your child. Parents may use the answers (included in the grade level packet at end) to check accuracy and discuss problem-solving strategies.
