COUGAR MATH CHALLENGE:
Students have the option to complete the attached monthly math challenge and return their completed challenge sheet to the office or their Homeroom teacher for the chance to win a math game! Math games are a great way to practice math skills while having fun as a family. Winners will be announced at our monthly assemblies.  All you have to do is answer the math question on any piece of paper and return it to the office or homeroom teacher making sure that the student's Name and Grade is on the sheet.

We will make one draw for each of the following age groups:

Grades K - 5
Grades 6 – 8

Please note:  students may choose to complete any of the math challenges based on their individual ability.

 

 

Grades K-5
