Fourth, fifth and sixth-grade students from all six Lake Havasu Unified School District elementary schools participated in a math competition at Lake Havasu High School Thursday morning.
Carol Nowakowski, Oro Grande Classical Academy sixth-grade teacher said, “Today is the LHUSD Elementary Math Competition. Math leads from six elementary schools will participate.
“They are taking three tests. The first test is individual number sense,” Nowakowski said.

“They are encouraged to use their brain and not scratch paper so it’s a bunch of math problems ranging from fourth grade up to algebra,” she said.
Nowarkowski said the second test consisted of word problems with multiple choice answers, with teams competing in the third test.
“There are 10 questions that are much harder. They’re to work together to work them out,” she said.
