The purpose of Math Stars is to challenge students beyond the classroom setting. Good problems can inspire curiosity about number relationships and geometric properties. It is hoped that in accepting the challenge of mathematical problem solving, students, their parents, and their teachers will be led to explore new mathematical horizons. This year, your child will complete Math Stars within the 90 math block. Students will be allowed time to work on these when they finish work early, during math workshops and/or for morning work. Students will work with partners on Wednesdays to check math stars, make corrections, and an opportunity to seek further explanations for the problems in which were most difficult for them.
