Math Pentathlon

Math Pentathlon is a program that teaches math skills and logical thinking using games.  Students practice games throughout the year.  In the spring, students have the opportunity to play these games in a competition with students from other Austin-area schools.

Check out a video taken at the 2012 Division I Tournament.

Half-Sheet Rule Sheets

These are made to print double-sided and then cut into half sheets, with the rules on front and back.  They are a good size for parent volunteers to use, especially printed on colored card stock so they are easier to find and collect, and last longer.

If your child would like to go to the tournament, but you need help with the registration fee, the MP program at Hill can pay the registration fee.  We don’t want any child to miss the tournament for financial reasons.  Please email me and let me know.

Also, for you experienced parents, if you would like to be a Game Leader (who supervises the Game Supervisors for one of the 5 games), let me know.  You will receive 1 free registration for helping in this capacity.
