Math Stars or Problem of the Week

The Common Core State Standards, which have been adopted by forty-five states and the District of Columbia, identify what students need to know and be able to do to be college and career ready when they finish high school.  One part of these standards in mathematics is the Mathematical Practices.  These practices are interwoven with all the knowledge students need.   The first Mathematical Practice is “Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.”   So the Math Star program is a great place to help students develop that critical skill.  Students need to learn to be proficient at problem solving, and they also need to adopt the mindset that problems take work and they can do it with effort.

So each week at Harris the students are challenged with a new problem at their grade level.  The students have all week to solve the problem and submit their answer.  On Friday all the answers are collected.  Correct responses go into a drawing for a “Math Star” t-shirt and a winner for each grade level is randomly selected on Monday morning.  The winner gets a bright red “Math Star” shirt to wear proudly to celebrate their good thinking.  All of the staff members have the bright red shirts too. One goal for this program is to create the atmosphere that math is important, engaging and we can all do it!
