Local Champions: Oakridge Elementary’s Math Dice Team Tops APS Competition

The Oakridge Elementary School's math dice team, led by Mr. Chapuis, won first place in the APS district-wide competition last Saturday. The event featured 25 elementary schools. The Oakridge team performed exceptionally well.

The competition required students to use two 12-sided dice to set a 'Target Number' and three additional dice to create 'Scoring Numbers.' The goal was to form a math equation from the Scoring Numbers that matched the Target Number as closely as possible, using basic math operations and exponents.

The team, composed of six fifth-graders, showcased strong math skills and teamwork. They effectively collaborated to devise equations that approximated the target number.
