Students Compete in Math Challenge

Students in 3rd through 8th grade from across the Dysart Unified School District participated in the annual Math Challenge on May 2 at Willow Canyon High School. All 20 of the district’s elementary schools are invited to participate and each school can enter up to three teams of six students.

There were three rounds in the Math Challenge. The first round was a speed round containing 30 problems that students must collaborate and solve in a 10 minute timeframe. During the second round, students had 15 minutes to answer six questions that were more focused on problem solving. The Championship Round also had six questions with a time limit of 20 minutes.

The purpose of the event was to entice, engage, and challenge students to solve math problems while along the way strengthening their math fundamentals. Collaboration was also a strong focus of the event as teams must work together and strategize to complete the problems to the best of their ability within the time allowed. Congratulations to all the students that participated! The results are as follows:
