Math-a-thon: Thursday 8th August

Broadgreen Intermediate School

                                                                                               

Math-a-thon 2013

Rationale: Basic facts results overall are low and all students

could benefit from a targeted boost.

Objective: To boost BIS students’ recall of basic facts recall within a House Competition, that hopefully will be self-motivating.

-       Math-a-thon will be the main homework focus for Weeks 1 and 2.

-       Teachers will determine students’ appropriate level and each student will take home a Basic Facts Sheet that they will endeavor to master by Thursday Week 2; the Math-a-thon competition date.

-       Each stage differentiated accordingly.

-       Teachers can allocate daily basic practice to help students prepare for the Math-a-thon competition if they wish.

-       The winning house will be awarded the Math-a-thon Trophy and points will go towards the overall House Competition.

-       Students will get house points as outlined below in the Thursday (Math-a-thon competition).

-       Copies of the Math-a-thon are available on our BIS Maths Blog.
