Club Mission and Information

Kruse math club provides a free enrichment opportunity for 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students in logistical and creative mathematical problem solving. We will be use the Continental Math League program for all grade levels. The goals for students are to:
Develop enthusiasm for problem solving and mathematics.
Deepen understanding of mathematical concepts.
Consider concepts they might not otherwise encounter.
Learn and use the four steps of problem solving.

We will be meeting in grade-level teams with parent coaches at Kruse each Monday afternoon from 3:30-4:30pm beginning Oct 28, 2012 through March 31, 2013. There are contests available for interested team members. These contests are pencil & paper type that all Continental Math League teams across the country complete. Please know that although there will be competitions offered; our main goal is to build confidence, enthusiasm, and skills in mathematics. The only qualification needed to be in the math club is being willing to have fun while exploring math!

Snacks will be provided for the first practice. In an attempt to help families with “one less thing to remember” and for students who may forget to pack a snack, we would like to provide snacks for future practices. In order to provide weekly snacks, please consider donating healthy snacks or $5. Thanks for your support! Also, please let us know if there are any allergies that we need to be aware of!
