Framingham School Committee Honors 20 Elementary Math Stars

The Framingham School Committee recognized 20 students, who scored the highest in the district’s Math League, earlier this month.

Math League is sponsored by Framingham’s Gifted and Talented (SAGE) department and is open to all students in Grades 4 and 5 .

The goal of Math League is to build student interest, confidence, and stamina in critical thinking and creative problem solving strategies in response to complex math problems through ongoing, reflective practice.

This culminates in students participating in the written Math League contest of 30 multiple-choice items to be solved in 30 minutes.

Top scorers in each grade were awarded a certificate of achievement and “Math Contests” book at each school.

Plaques were awarded to those students who achieve perfect scores.
