Since early January, Parkview Elementary K-3 math club members have been learning the rules and strategies to five divisional math games in preparation for the Spring National Mathematics Pentathlon Academic Tournaments (NMPAT).
Each week they put their strategic thinking skills to use in a fun, yet competitive manner, mastering each of the 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.
More than 500 pentathletes from as many as 30 different schools are expected to participate in these prestigious events. Parkview Elementary and the entire Charlotte Public Schools family wish these students the very best of luck in this competition.
We would like to thank their coach, Ashley Eaton, and all of the parent helpers for their time and dedication to this program. We would also like to thank Silk Screen Stuff for printing this year’s club shirts and send a special congratulations to Kat Rogers, our winning t-shirt design artist.
