Math Superstars is a completely optional program for your child (K-5) if they love problem solving or want additional practice. This is not a classroom or teacher-led program.

If you select to participate in this supplemental program, you will print a worksheet every week at home. Please do one worksheet per week. Grade-level worksheets are available at the bottom of this page to download and print (PDF format).

The worksheets are graded by a classroom volunteer, not the teacher, and returned to the students. The graders offer positive comments and feedback to help each student understand the desired answers. Kindergarten Math Superstars have 10 worksheets, and grades 1-5 have 25, which comes to about 1 per week.

There will be prizes awarded after students have completed a certain number of worksheets and their efforts will be recognized on the Math Superstars brag board located in the hallway across from the library.

The spirit of this program is to be fun and to provide additional math exposure. The problems will not correlate with classroom instruction, but are age appropriate. PTA is excited to offer this program this year, and we are committed to cheering on the students for trying!

Thank you for your interest in Math Superstars. For any additional questions you may have, please contact our Math Superstars Chair, Nidhi Parashar, at spicewoodems@gmail.com

Math Superstars Process:

1. Print your worksheet at home.
2. Complete at your leisure.
1. While parents are encouraged to provide assistance, this program emphasizes the student doing their own thinking!
2. These problems can become quite difficult, employing reasoning and skills potentially uncovered yet in class.
3. Please note this is a voluntary, supplemental program for outside the classroom.
3. Turn worksheets into your classroom teacher by every Tuesday.
4. Print the next worksheet! Graded worksheets will be returned via Friday folders.
   
   

Registration & Volunteer Sign-up:

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the registration form provided here, by September 15th (extended deadline). Our goal is to start the program by September 2nd week.

This program relies on one rock star parent grader per classroom (K-5). 

Grader’s role/process:

• Your child will bring home the collected worksheets weekly.
• You will grade them and offer positive comments/feedback to help students understand the desired answers.
• Update participation record (google sheet) for your classroom weekly, so that organizers can update the stickers on Math Superstars Brag board outside the library regularly.
• Your child will then bring the graded worksheets back to the classroom teacher weekly, so that teacher can return it to participants via Friday Folders.

Answer keys are provided below.

Individual grades are not recorded; participation is encouraged more than accuracy. However, graders will have a list to keep track of participating students and the number of completed worksheets.

The participating students will see their name on the Math Superstars Brag Board and earn a STAR for each paper completed and turned in. Credit is given for just attempting the problem.

Incentives:

Small rewards will be given 2 times this year at the completion of certain milestones:

• Mid Year Prize in mid-Jan:
