Batter Up: National Math Bee

National Math BeeAbout the Program

Students in grades 1-6 are participating in the National Math Bee (NMB). This program challenges students to become more accurate and efficient with their basic math facts. Although we have a strong desire for students to have a conceptual understanding of number and numeration we also want them to build procedural competence. This connection will lead them toward computational fluency and a strengthening of problem solving skills.
