Mathematics Pentathlon® and has received national recognition over the years for its scale and quality of programs and mentorships within the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM); a program of choice from winners of the White House Science Fair and the US2020.
Charlotte Schools have used Mathematics Pentathlon games in classrooms, cross-grade activities, math clubs, and Gifted and Talented programs since the 1980s. In recent years, Charlotte has been represented at the Michigan-Ohio Center tournaments in all four divisions, kindergarten through 7th grade, qualifying a team status for two of those years. Eight students, from 1991-2013, won all five of their games, earning them a place in the Mathematics Pentathlon Hall of Fame.
Mathematics Pentathlon offers students a chance to put their strategic thinking skills to use in a fun, yet competitive manner. Each division requires students to learn five board-style games designed to include aspects of computational, logical/scientific, and spatial/geometric reasoning including, but not limited to problem solving, various types of mathematical computations, deductive/inductive reasoning, hypothesizing and experimentation, networks, and structural analysis of space.
Last spring, after months of preparation, 28 of Charlotte’s Mathematics Pentathletes participated in National Mathematics Pentathlon Academic Tournaments (NMPAT).
