Parents,

I hate to start off my post asking for help, but I am doing so tonight.  PLEASE speak with your students about their behavior during Math Pentathlon class.  They are there to learn math games and practice good sportsmanship.  Students doing anything other than that will recieve a phone call home and can be removed from the club.

We do have many students who show a real interest in these games and give 100% every week.  THANK YOU to those students and their families for supporting them!!

If you are interested in going to the tournament in the spring, please see the Tournament Registration link on the left hand side of this page to go to the Math Pentathlon website to register.  If you would rather mail it in, you can print out the form and mail it in with a check as payment.

Division I recap:

Division I students are on their 3rd week with Calla.  They went over some worksheets that focus on different strategies and practiced Calla one on one.

Division II recap:

Division II students continued on their third week with PAR 55.  They learned the “bump rule” to this game.  Be sure to ask your student to explain this rule to you.

Division III recap:

Division III students continued with Stars & Bars today, learning the rules for “inside placement” of cards on the full size game board.  This game is a little more rule intensive, so they will be spending 5 weeks total on this game.
