5th Annual TriMathlon Results in Arizona

On October 17, Mathnasium of Ahwatukee held a very successful and fun 5th annual TriMathlon, a math competition.  Similar to the way a triathlon tests an athlete’s physical fitness through three athletic challenges, the TriMathlon tests a mathlete’s mental fitness through three math challenges: the counting game, magic squares challenge and mental math workout. The TriMathlon is open to students in grades 2-5.

In this year's TriMathlon, Mathnasium of Ahwatukee had 26 of the best and brightest student participants from 12 schools in Arizona. More than 80% of the students competed for the first time in math competitions. All participants received goody bags and earned money for their schools. The winners also received medals and additional prizes.

One Fourth Grade student achieved a perfect score and was invited to the Grand Prize Tie-Breaker contest on October 24. The Grand Prize winner will be announced soon.

• 26 total students participated in math competition
• 12 total schools in the valley
• 4 students achieved 90% or higher in the competition, and 1 student achieved a perfect score
• 2 participants attend Mathnasium for math enrichment, and both won medals
• 4 participants drove 40+ miles to Mathnasium to participate in the TriMathlon, and 2 participants drove 90+ miles 

Thanks to all the students who participated in the TriMathlon. Also, thanks to all the parents, teachers and PTO/PTA who helped spread the word and encouraged these students to participate!  Special thanks to Mr. Arlen Sykes, a fantastic teacher from Kyrene de la Colina Elementary School, who encouraged 5 of his students to participate, making Colina to be the school with the most number of TriMathlon participants and winners this year!

Please join us in congratulating all the local participants and winners on a successful TriMathlon on Facebook and Google+!

We look forward to seeing you again next year!
