Lakeview PTSA is excited to bring back the Math Program, which offers challenges and competitions for all Lakeview students.

Math Challenge (Bi-Weekly)

Math Challenge is a free math enrichment program offered to all students at Lakeview. The purpose of this program is to entice, engage and challenge students to solve interesting math problems while strengthening their math fundamentals, critical thinking, problem solving skills and confidence in math.

Students can also involve their families to help and engage in a fun discussion to solve math problems.

How to participate:

Download the current challenge at https://www.mathinaction.org/lakeview.html or pick up a copy from the library.
Submit your answers here: https://forms.gle/hhVs4WiP974xa2PU9 or drop off your work in the dropbox placed in the library.
Solutions are provided one week after the due date so your students can see how they did.

Students who complete the minimum number of questions for their grade level will be entered into a raffle for a prize at the end of the year!

We've had 41 students complete 5 or more challenges! It's not too late to start participating!

Math Challenge #13 starts on Friday, March 29th! Due date is Monday, April 15th.

Math Competitions

What are Math Competitions?

Many people compete in sports; some people compete in Math.

Math competitions are competitive events where participants complete a math test to win prizes. The biggest difference between classwork and math competition questions is the problem-solving process. Competitions questions typically are built on skills that your student already understands, the ability to digest word questions and identify what skills to apply is the differentiator. Math contests help foster interest in math, hone problem solving skills and encourage students to value intellectual pursuits.
