Welcome to the Clyde Hill Math Challenge! We are so excited to bring back our academic Challenges! We believe math is for everyone! No one is born "bad" at math - we all have different learning styles and obstacles to overcome. But, with motivation and practice, we can all build a good math foundation that will help us with many life skills. Cooking, art, music, gaming, budgeting, construction, boating, and sports all benefit from mathematical foundations. Just like you do drills in soccer to build your foundational soccer muscles, we encourage math practice to build your math muscles!
Also, just like with your favorite sport or music or art, practice and drills can be fun! These Math Challenges are designed to show the many ways puzzles and games use and reinforce math concepts. We love math and want to share our excitement with you! If there are other challenges you want to see in the future - please let us know!
Also - if you would like the challenge translated, please email us at math-challenge@clydehillpta.org.
The May submission will open May 8 and is due by Friday May 26th!
How does the Math Challenge work?
Every month we will post 6 math challenges that focus on different skills. You can do as many or as few as you like. Even if you don't find the solution - that's ok! Our growth mindset lets us try our best and improve in steps. Trying is our first step! Our goal is to encourage participation, learn and have fun! At the end of each month, during the monthly assembly, we will announce the class that has the most participants that month. At the end of the year, the grade that participated the most during the school year will have a special prize!
