A focus on conceptual understanding and the integration of spatial, computational and logical reasoning are key attributes of Mathematics Pentathlon. By using specially designed games and activities that differentiate instruction, ALL students of varying abilities and learning styles are motivated to enjoy math and spend more time learning this subject matter. These factors are critical in improving students’ performance in math. This exciting, engaging, and effective program can be implemented in multiple ways: classroom instruction, math clubs, national academic tournaments, enrichment, and home use.
