Through MIA website and Rockwell’s electronic Bugle, three math problems (for grade 1-2, 3-4, 5-6) will be published every other week beginning in October. Students will give their answers to their teachers or directly online (www.mathinaction.org) by the Thursday following the Bugle’s distribution. Only correct answers submitted by Thursday afternoon will be eligible for a free popcorn ticket or a prize. Our principal, Mrs. Livingston or our morning news co-anchor will pick one winner from each grade level on Friday during the morning news.

 

By the end of May 2009, students who submit at least 10 correct answers in their grade level will receive a special recognition at the end of school year.
