Registration Open for 2014 Leesburg Mathnasium TriMathlon

Kids willing to test their mental fitness through a series of fun-filled math challenges are invited to participate in Leesburg’s Mathnasium TriMathlon Sunday, Oct. 19 at 1 p.m.

Mathnasium TriMathlon is a free, fun-filled event that allows elementary school kids to demonstrate their math skills in a festive, supportive environment while earning money for local schools. Each elementary school PTA involved will receive a donation based on student participation.

Kids will test their mental fitness through three math challenges:

The Counting Game

Tests students’ ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number.

Magic Squares Challenge

Students are awarded points for developing their own math problems.

Mental Math Workout

Tests students’ number sense by asking them to solve problems without pencil and paper.

The event is open to kids in 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th grades. All participants receive a fun goody bag, a certificate of participation and donations for their local schools. The top three scoreres in each grade level will receive additional medals and prizes and will be invited to participate in the Grand Prize Tie-Breaker Event.

The Mathnasium of Leesburg is located at 521 B East Market Street. To learn more, contact the Mathnasium at (703) 669-6284 or email leesburg@mathnasium.com.
