Math Challenge is a free math enrichment program for Rachel Carson Elementary students from Math In Action. There will be 15 Math Challenge packets published approximately every other week throughout the school year, and each set will present problems ordered by level of difficulty: easier to more difficult. Each challenge is designed to give students opportunities to sharpen their mathematical problem-solving skills.

 

The 2024-2025 Math Challenge has begun! Visit Carson's Math Challenge page and click the blue "Current Math Challenge" button to be directed to the printable PDF.

 

How to Participate

  • There will be 15 challenges throughout the school year. Refer to the math challenge calendar for release dates, due dates, and challenge solutions.

  • This is a great opportunity for families to be involved and enjoy math through fun and engaging math problems! We encourage parents and siblings to get involved in discussing and solving them.
  • Students that complete 10 or more packets will receive a certificate and a gift from the Carson PTSA
