Mathnasium (2111 Packard Rd, Suite C, Ann Arbor) will host its first annual National TriMathlon Day on Saturday, May 14, 2011. The free event is a math competition for students in third, fourth, fifth and sixth grades attending public, private, or home school in the Ann Arbor area.
The TriMathlon consists of three challenges: The Counting Game (tests student’s ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number), Magic Squares (students are awarded points for creativity in developing their own math problems), and Mental Math Workout (evaluates student’s Number Sense by asking them to solve given problems the ‘smart’ way without pencil and paper). Questions become progressively more difficult for students in higher grade levels.
Students will compete locally at Mathnasium of Ann Arbor. Along with medals and prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winners, each participant will receive a certificate of achievement for their involvement. National TriMathlon winners will be selected from the top three scorers in each grade level from all participating Mathnasium locations. The 12 national winners will receive honors and more than $10,000 in cash prizes.
