In order to increase mastery of math facts and promote school spirit, students at Mountain Vista Elementary School are participating in “The Principal’s Math Challenge”. Students are given four minute timed tests in their classrooms. Timed tests range from thirty subtraction facts in 1st grade to 100 multiplication and division facts in 5th grade. Any student who scores a 100% on their classroom test is eligible to “challenge the principal” on a three minute timed test. Students who master the three minute timed test at 100% are awarded a certificate by the principal and are recognized throughout the school. The next challenge is February 26th! GO WILDCATS!!!
