Welcome to Math Superstars, an at home mathematics and problem solving enrichment program. Math Superstars is a voluntary program designed to enhance students’ appreciation and knowledge of mathematics by offering challenging and fun problems. Yes, math can be fun! And enrolling your child in the Superstars program will even help them in their daily math lessons in class.
It is normal for a child NOT to be able to complete every problem on the worksheet. Remind your child that they are not expected to know all the answers, that this is an opportunity to challenge themselves. The parent’s role is to encourage your child. Talk about the steps needed to solve a problem and support them as they think aloud, but please DO NOT GIVE THE ANSWERS! Sometimes the problem may be too hard for your child and that’s ok - while the worksheets are graded, they are not part of your child’s grade at school.
Your child will print their worksheet on Mondays, starting October 3rd and must return it on the following Monday. The worksheets are listed by grade below. If you are unable to print out a worksheet at home, a copy will be provided for your child.
Students will receive rewards at the end of the program for participation. Kindergarten students will have to complete 14 out of 19 assignments, and grades 1 -5 will need to complete 20 out of 25. Thank you for allowing your child to embark on this mathematical adventure! If you have any questions, please contact
