Math Challenge is a free enrichment program sponsored by the Newport Heights PTA. No-sign up is necessary. All students K to Grade 5 are invited to participate. There will be 15 challenges throughout the school year to engage students and their families in interesting math problems that strengthen their calculation, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills, and improve their mathematical confidence.
This program is completely voluntary, but we hope all students and families will join us in this fun STEM learning experience! Every student who completes a challenge will have their name submitted into a drawing to win a small prize and be recognized on our Math Challenge “Wall of Fame.” Students who participate in 12 or more of the challenges will be recognized with a certificate at the end of the school year.
