MATH SUPERSTARS

Math Superstars at Mary Lin is a math enrichment program for grades K-5 which complements material being learned in the classroom and challenges students to stretch their thinking one step further. The program was conceived and materials were developed at the Florida Department of Education in the early 1980's. The program began at Mary Lin in 1998. Small groups of students meet weekly with parent volunteers. Math worksheets are distributed weekly and students are rewarded for participation.
