math tools and math sandbox grade 5

Does your 5th grader love puzzles, brainteasers, and creative problem-solving? Join the REP Team for the 5th Grade Math Sandbox on Wednesday mornings from 8:35 to 9:00 AM in the Orchard Cafeteria, starting September 23rd. This program offers fun, open-ended math challenges designed to deepen critical thinking without pushing ahead of the classroom curriculum. It’s open to all interested 5th graders. Come to one session or all!

Try a Sandbox Teaser at Home:

  • Which One Doesn't Belong? 16 • 25 • 36 • 49 (Can you find a reason for each?)

  • Four 4s: Using exactly four 4s and any math operations, can you make every number from 0 to 10?

Students can bring their solutions to our first meeting!
