Hatch School
Math-a-thon Challenge

This program is designed for students in grades 1-5 who enjoy math. We know the more students are given the opportunity to do math computation, the better they will do in learning math concepts throughout their education. This program is not meant to take the place of the math program in school, but to enhance students' learning of math computation. The guildelines are as follows:

• Students will be given a pre-test at their grade level. This pre-test will determine what skills need to be taught.
• Students will be given a packet of worksheets at their grade level. We will set up a schedule to teach those skills. Students will have the option of taking the packets home to work on, or working on them during lunchtime.
• When packets are complete, students will be given a post-test in school to determine if those skills have been mastered. If there are some weak areas, students will need to master those skills in order to move to the next level. All skills must be mastered in order to move to the next grade level in the program.
• Pre and Post-tests will be given during the lunch hour.
• Schedule for the Week:

  Monday: Grade 1

  Tuesday: Grade 2

  Wednesday: Grade 3

  Thursday: Grade 4

  Friday: Grade 5

• At lunchtime, daily announcements will be made to remind students to go to their study groups.
• When a grade level is mastered, students will earn points. There are ten lessons per grade level. Students will earn 10 points per lesson. It is possible to earn 120 points per grade level mastered.

Are you up for the Challenge!! We are looking for a few great students who enjoy math computation, learning skills and earning points for the Hatch School Math-a-thon.

Sincerely,
Sheila Y. Carter
