Multiplication Bee Winners!

You may remember my previous post about the fast-approaching 4th Grade Multiplication Bee!  Thirty five adventurous 4th graders participated yesterday in an ultimate battle of facts.  We had so much fun, and I think that when we do the spring rematch, we will have many more participants.  We started off with a visit from Noah in 5th grade, who won 2nd place last year, to tell us all about why multiplication is so important, and why participating in the bee was fun to him and helpful as he learned his facts.  The students loved hearing from him and it was fun for Mrs. Talley to get to hear from one of her former students!

We then explained how the bouts would work, and showed them our single elimination bracket.

When we got to our Elite 8, Final 4, Terrific 2 and our Champion, we took a quick photo break.  Check out these amazing mathematicians.  Congratulations to all of our participants for having the courage to do math in front of an audience.  We know it isn't hard, but you were all outstanding! We hope to see more of you participating in our rematch in the spring!
