Working with the equation for success, Sommer, Elsa England and Cactus Ranch elementary schools took home first, second and third place, respectively, in the 2019 National Mathematics Pentathlon Academic Tournaments.
This is the third year in a row that Sommer has taken the national title. Elsa England and Cactus Ranch were also named gold medalists teams for the state of Texas.
Awards were based on the average points from the top students on each team. Points were earned through the completion of five math-related games, which are provided by the program, throughout the year. Students were also rated individually on their performance. Based on their scores, students had the opportunity to earn gold, silver or bronze status or be placed on the Pentathlon Hall of Fame.
Students earn Hall of Fame status by winning all five of their division level games. This status is the highest level of achievement recognized in the Official Math Pentathlon® Program.
