Mathletes Unite to Show Off Their Skills – Sign Your 2nd-5th Grader Up Now!

Have a student that loves numbers? Sign-up now for the free Mill Valley Tri-Mathalon, hosted by the Mathnasium.

Making math fun for all ages is no easy fete, but the Mill Valley Mathnasium is excited to be motivating and recognizing students who are enthusiastic about numbers.

The center will host the third-annual, national TriMathalon competition on Oct. 20, where elementary school kids can demonstrate their knowledge of the three principles of number sense: counting, proportional thinking, and wholes and parts.

Your 2nd-5th grade student can compete with more than 300 mathletes in a triathlon style tournament that will test their level of mental fitness by solving math problems in an atmosphere that is festive and rewarding for all.
