Math Race Hall of Fame

In order to encourage the students to challenge themselves a bit more with regard to Math Races, I have instituted the Math Race Hall of Fame. Each day I will nominate two problems, one from a boy and one from a girl, in each class. At the end of the week, the students will vote for what they think is the most impressive problem. The winners will then be photographed and their photo, which will show their problem, will be placed on display in the hallway. Their photo will stay on display for one week until the next weekly winner is announced. With 4E's play going on, they have not yet done Math Races, so 4C already has 4 nominees while 4E has none. Please encourage your child to design challenging Math Race problems. Be sure that they pay attention to the order of operations as they create their problems.
