Math Challenge #1
Due by Thursday, October 7th

Math Challenge is back for this school year! For those who are new to the program, Math Challenge is a PTA sponsored program that is offered free to all students at Rockwell.

There are 15 challenges total for the school year and each challenge contains math problems that are appropriate for each grade level. This program is optional and our aim is to encourage students to enjoy learning and working on math. It is a great family activity, as we encourage the students to work with family to discuss and solve the questions. Please feel free to try more questions than the minimum required for your grade level in order to qualify. Lucky winners will be chosen from qualified submissions in each grade level for each math Challenge.

Once the student completes the challenge, simply email their paper by the due date to mathchallenge@normanrockwellpta.org

Our first Math Challenge is now avaiable. You can access the challenge HERE. The due date for Math Challenge #1 is Thursday, October 7th.

Please contact us if you have any questions of if you need additional information about this program.

Let the challenge begin!
