The annual Elementary Mathematics Challenge Competition, co-sponsored by Southern Maryland Electric Cooperative, for fourth and fifth grade students, was held at Leonardtown Middle School on Saturday, April 14.
Eighteen elementary schools (14 public and 4 nonpublic) sent a team of seven fourth graders and a team of seven fifth graders to compete. The competition consists of a team portion where members collaborate to answer five multiple step mathematics problems.
The next portion is an individual test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions. The scores of the top five finishers from each school are combined to make the individual school total. The individual school total is combined with the team score to make the final school team score.
