Mathapalooza is a competition held annually for CMS 3rd graders in conjunction with the Talent Development department. Students complete fun math challenges independently as well as with a team. Mathapalooza also incorporates hands-on obstacles that require students to work together to complete their challenge! We had two students participate this year and are hoping for more next year! If you have a child going into 3rd grade - keep an eye out for Mathapalooza information next year.
