Welcome to Math Challenge Program at Rosa Parks Elementary!

 
As we begin a new school year, we’re excited to launch Math Challenge – a fun and enriching program designed to spark curiosity and build problem-solving skills!
 
What is Math Challenge?
 
Math Challenge consists of 15 sets of problems released about every two weeks. Each set includes 10–18 questions, ranging from easy to more challenging. The goal is to enrich the school curriculum and encourage students to explore different ways of thinking and problem-solving.
This program is also a wonderful opportunity for families to get involved. Parents and siblings are encouraged to work together with students, making math a fun and engaging shared activity at home.
 
Program Details:
  • PTSA-sponsored program, open to all students K–5
  • Free to participate (donations welcome)
  • Registration required at the beginning of the year
  • Registration will be open Sept. 3 - Sept. 25, 2025
  • Run by parent volunteers
  • Problem sets provided by the Math in Action team (with Rosa Parks–specific schedule and guidelines)
Let’s make this school year full of exciting math adventures!
