Mathnasium's Annual National TriMathlon

Dublin KIDS GETTING READY FOR THIS YEAR’S MATHNASIUM TRIMATHLON CONTEST

Will Raise About $37,000 for Schools Nationwide and Demonstrate Math Can
Be Fun

Students Earn Money for Local Schools with Each Correct Answer

Dublin, September 24,
2013 – Dublin students are getting ready to test their math skills while
raising much needed funds for local schools.

Mathnasium's TriMathlon contest is designed to show kids
that math can be fun. Children at all levels of math ability are invited to
participate. In addition to winning trophies, all students who participate this
year will earn money for local schools with every correct answer. The winner at
each grade level will be entered into the national TriMathlon, with the chance
to earn larger school donations.

The competition, open to 2nd through 5th
grade students, will be held at 8:00 am on October 19th at the Dublin
Mathnasium learning center at 7723 Amador Valley Blvd., Dublin CA 94545.
Participation is free.

“The Mathnasium TriMathlon represents a wonderful
opportunity for kids to have fun, test their math skills, and earn money for local
schools. It demonstrates that math can be fun and, at the same time, provides a
way for the students to give back to their community, which is a wonderful lesson
for kids at this age.  In the Mathnasium TriMathlon,
every child is a winner!” said Divya Sharma, owner of the Mathnasium of Dublin franchise.

The TriMathlon consists of three events:

·        
Magic Squares, where students are awarded points
for developing their own math problems.

·        
The Counting Game, which tests students' ability
to count from any number, to any number, by any number.

·        
Mental Math Workout, which asks students to
solve problems without a pencil and paper in order to show off their “number sense.” 

The contest is open to all students in grades 2 through 5 in
public, private, or home school. Students do not need to be enrolled in a Mathnasium
center to participate. Prep materials, including a practice test, are available
on the Mathnasium TriMathlon website (www.mathnasiumtriathlon.com), where students
can also register.

Participants will have money donated to local schools for
every correct answer on the TriMathlon test either through the website
DonorsChoice.org, which allows schools to select whatever they need with
donations accruing toward those items, or via direct donations. Mathnasium is
targeting an aggregate nationwide donation of about $37,000,
which includes the national prizes.

The 1st place winners at each grade level will be
invited to move on to the national TriMathlon, where the national champions
will be determined based on their local test scores. If needed, tiebreaker
tests will be held at the winners’ local Mathnasium locations the following
weekend. Prizes of $1,000, $500 and $250 will be awarded to local schools on
behalf of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd place winners at
each grade level.

All participants, regardless of how they place on the test,
will receive a free downloadable math game from Lakeshore Learning Materials
(retail value, $19.99) together with other prizes and certificates of
participation. National winners will receive Lakeshore gift cards.
