SDOC hosts Math Madness each year to spark interest in mathematics. This spring, 375 third through fifth grade students throughout all ten elementary schools participated in "Math Madness: Math Wars." The day of friendly competitions included challenges of problem solving and computation in a timed format. The students competed for individual and team mathematics awards.
"Our annual Math Madness Competition will go down in the books as another successful year, with over a 1,000 students, volunteers, and spectators in attendance. We are fortunate to have a district that sets aside an entire day to celebrate academics by bringing bobcats, warriors, and razorbacks together for fun and friendly competition," said Jody Shirley, STEM Specialist for SDOC.
