2024 MATH PENTATHLON REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.
What is Math Pentathlon? It is a non-competitive after school program where students play games that reinforce math concepts. It is fun, stimulating, and educational. The program culminates with a Game Day held at Dorseyville Middle School on March 2, 2024 where participants will play the games against students from the other elementary schools in the Fox Chapel Area School District. Each participant will receive a Math Pentathlon t-shirt and a medal for participating in the program.
Math Pentathlon is held on Thursdays at Kerr at the end of the school day. Students are dismissed by division for a snack (included in the program fee) before learning and playing their respective games. Each division learns and plays three different games. The students play each game for two weeks. Each division is dismissed at 4:45 pm.
Division I – Kindergarten and 1st Grades
Division II – 2nd and 3rd Grades
Division III – 4th and 5th Grades
The dates of the 2024 program are:
-
January 25 & February 1: game #1
-
February 8 & 15: game #2
-
February 22 & February 29: game #3
-
Saturday, March 2: Game Day at Dorseyville Middle School (details will follow registration)
Parent volunteers are needed in all three divisions to learn the games and help the children play them as well as for Game Day. This program is entirely volunteer-run and parental support is vital to its success. As per Fox Chapel Area School District policy, clearances are required for all parent volunteers.
