NECSD Hosts District-Wide Math Meets for Young Mathematicians


Each year, teams from the District's nine elementary schools compete in a series of activities that test their mathematical, communication, and teamwork skills. Through a series of four workshops during the year, elementary aged mathematicians are able to meet and collaborate with students from other schools throughout the district during a pivotal year as they explore transitioning from elementary to middle school - all whiling improving their mathematical abilities through enrichment activities, friendly competition, and teamwork.

Their final meet in the spring is an Escape Room style competition. The Escape Room typically hosts 15 stations (rooms) manned by employees from throughout the Newburgh Enlarged City School District. Each station featured a math problem the teams had to work through and solve. Teams would have to explain the method they used to obtain their answer before earning a key to move on to the next “room."  The team to complete each station first and acquire all of the keys wins the Escape Room Challenge.

A special thanks to Math Meet coordinators, Mr. Jesse Goodglass and Ms. Zoe Matthews.
