Second grade Little Longhorns learned some of the Math Pentathlon games and practiced their tournament skills in the classroom. From their site: The Mathematics Pentathlon program encourages the use of strategic problem-solving games as an integral part of math instruction. This program aligns with numerous indicators of the National Standards that deal with Number Sense, Computation, Algebra and Functions, Geometry, Measurement, and Problem Solving.
Plus they are fun!
Here are some photos of the process. Next year they will learn more games. If your child would like to participate in the central Texas tournament next Spring, let me know. I can send you the registration information. If you would like to head up a team from UTES, let me know and we can talk about how to make that happen!
