SBU to Host Math Contest
St. Bonaventure University will host a Challenge-24 mathematics contest on Saturday, March 21. Local area schools are invited to send one student in grades four through seven to participate in the event.
There are currently 77 students from 14 schools registered to attend. The participating schools include: Cuba Elementary, Cuba-Rushford Middle School, Friendship Central School, Hinsdale Central School, four Olean elementary schools (Boardmanville, East View, Ivers J. Norton and Washington West), Olean Middle School, Otto-Eldred Elementary School, Otto-Eldred Middle School, School Street Elementary, Smethport Central School and Southern Tier Catholic School.
Challenge-24 is a game in which contestants are presented with four numbers between one and nine. The object is to combine the numbers, using each number exactly once, to produce an answer of 24. Any of the standard arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division) may be used as needed, perhaps more than once, to get the result.
The first-, second- and third-place students at each grade level will receive a gold, silver or bronze medal, respectively, for their accomplishments.
