Looking for a math challenge? If so, please be sure to check out our classroom blog by Sunday evening of each week for additional math problem solving activities. I will post at least 2 activities each week. These activities are optional. However, if your child chooses to complete the activities, please have him/her complete the activities independently. In addition, I would love to see how your child solves these problems, so please be sure to send their problem solving work to school each Friday in their homework folder.
