S.T.E.A.M. Committee is excited to present the 2nd Annual PS20 Math-A-Thon! Between November 9 - 16, 2026 students and families will solve 600+ math puzzles & problems on the For Our School (code: 411826) website.

Let's make learning fun! Our Math-a-thon challenges students to practice the math skills they've learned throughout the school year, build confidence, and reach their personal goals. For grades 3–5, this practice also helps prepare students for spring standardized testing.

Parents, your support makes a difference! Every dollar raised supports our school's STEAM programs during and after school, creating more opportunities for students to explore, create, and learn.

  • After school STEAM Experiments, Enrichment Programs, and IB-related content

  • Activities like: Annual Science Fair, 3D Printing, Kalakkal Counter, Technology Workshops, and Chem Craniotomy. Experiments with the Chompsaw, DNA, Light, Food, and more

Let's reach goals, celebrate learning, and make math count!

    • Use the link or QR code to sign up each of your students on ForOurSchool.org Portal

    • Through ForOurSchool.org, send at least two (2) emails to friends and family to support your reader.

    • Students can do math problems independently or with an adult. 

    • The questions are all multiple choice (open-ended questions are not provided).

    • You can choose to answer the questions online, on printable worksheets, or both.

    ONLINE FORMAT

    • The online format has an unlimited number of questions. Each answer selection is logged, and immediate feedback is given.  If an answer is incorrect, the correct answer will be displayed, followed by a new question.

    • Questions are untimed (the recommended time for each question is 15-20 seconds).

    • When answering questions online, it is advised to use scrap paper to work through each problem. Try not to use a calculator (not permitted for the NYS exams). A hint is provided to guide the solution.

    • The printable worksheets have 200-400 questions, depending on grade.

    • Please turn in printable worksheets to your teacher by Thursday, June 11.

    • Our Math-a-thon motivates our students to review the topics they learned during the school year while striving to achieve their personal and academic math goals.

    • For 3K, Pre-K, Kindergarten, Grades 1 and 2, the math problems generally follow the curriculum taught in classes. 

    • For Grades 3, 4, and 5, the math questions will match the types of problems found on the NYS math exam.
