Math Meet #3 is in the Books!

The Newburgh Armory hosted the 3rd installment of NECSD's Annual Math Meet. 81 NECSD fifth grade scholars gathered to participate in the competition. The students were selected to participate based on their NYS Math Test Scores, iReady scores, report cards and teacher recommendation. There are nine total Math Meet teams. Each team is comprised of nine total scholars; one representative from each of the nine elementary schools. Within each team, students work in groups of three to solve and communicate their mathematical understanding of various problems.  Scholars are scored on mathematical knowledge, strategic thinking, and communication.  Points are accumulated during each competition and the winning team is announced at the culminating Escape the Room event and honored at a future Board of Education meeting. There are two Math Meets remaining.
