Mathnasium to Host Annual TriMathlon Event on November 5, 2016
The FREE event offers a fun competition for students in grades 2-5. Schools will receive $10.00 for each participant from their school.
Chicago students are getting ready to test their math skills while raising funds for local schools!
Mathnasium’s Annual TriMathlon is a community event designed to encourage kids in grades 2 to 5 to engage in math while giving back to schools. Mathnasium will donate money to local schools on behalf of TriMathlon participants.
The TriMathlon consists of three events:
- Magic Squares, where students are awarded points for developing their own math problems.
- The Counting Game, which tests students’ ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number.
- Mental Math Workout, which asks students to solve problems without a pencil and paper in order to showcase their number sense.
The competition, open to students in 2nd through 5th grade, will be held from 2:00-5:00 p.m. on November 5, 2016 at the West DePaul Mathnasium Learning Center at 1444 W. Fullerton Avenue, Chicago, IL 60614. Mathnasium has three Chicago locations: West DePaul, Ravenswood and West Loop (opening late 2016).
