Math Party

Math awards from past years

Last Thursday was our Math Club end-of-the-year party! Every year we have a math scavenger hunt. We first go through a page of math problems and then go to where the answers are on a map of the park. At each of those places there is a multiple choice math problem. The letters with the answers of the multiple choice problems form a math word. This year the word was bisect (to divide into two equal parts). We then have to explain the word to our math club coach.

After finishing the scavenger hunt we made polyhedra out of six ropes.

Tetrahedron (4 sides)

Cube (6 sides)

Octahedron (8 sides)

Icosahedron (20 sides)

We then had awards for the elementary, middle school, and high school groups. The picture at the top is of awards that all three groups have won in past years.
