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 and completion certificates awarded after students have completed their grade level worksheets.  Award ceremony will be scheduled around April 2025.

 

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 30th. Program begins October 1st.

 

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.
  • 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.

 

Incentives:

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

 

Students who complete all worksheets for their grade level will receive a "Certificate of Excellence" at the end of the year (~April 2025).

Welcome to Spicewood PTA!

Welcome!

Spicewood PTA Website is undergoing maintenance in advance of the 2023-2024 school year.
Some functions and information may be temporarily disabled.
Thank you for your patience!

Welcome to the Spicewood Elementary PTA! Our PTA is a group of parents, caregivers, teachers, school staff, and community members who have joined together with the shared goals of advocacy, family engagement, programming for kids, and support for our school.

The Spicewood PTA was formed:

  • To promote the welfare of children and youth in home, school, and throughout the community;
  • To raise the standards of home life;
  • To advocate for laws that further the education, physical and mental health, welfare, and safety of children and youth;
  • To promote the collaboration and engagement of families and educators in the education of children and youth;
  • To engage the public in united efforts to secure the physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and social well-being of all children and youth; and
  • To advocate for fiscal responsibility regarding public tax dollars in public education funding

We value collaboration, commitment, diversity, respect, and accountability.  However, we cannot do this alone.  The Spicewood Community needs involvement from all families in order to best support our children.  Whether you choose to volunteer in a classroom, assist with an event, become a Panther Partner, or simply join as a member, you are doing your part to make Spicewood Elementary the BEST environment for growth.

For reasons of privacy and security, we require that you create an account and/or be a current PTA member to view parts of our website.  Please register below, if you haven't already.  Thank you!
