The 24® Game involves a deck of cards, each showing four whole numbers between 1 and 9. When presented with a card, the players strive to be the first to combine the four numbers to make 24 using only addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. In addition to supporting pattern recognition, mental-math, and problem-solving abilities, this game has proven to elicit a high level of interest and excitement in Math from students. For more information, visit www.24game.com.
Grades 3-8 are participating in this academic tournament. The top 4 students per grade level will be presented with awards, and will go on to compete in the Regional 24 Math Tournament at Prospect Heights Middle School in Orange on April 14, 2011. All students who participate in Fluvanna’s tournament will receive a certificate of recognition.
Volunteers are needed to monitor the tournaments, keep score, and uphold tournament rules.
No math skills necessary!
We look forward to your support of our students in this wonderful opportunity.
