Back By Popular Demand! Math-r-Rama Speech and Debate League Although both Math-r-Rama and Speech/Debate are free programs, I do ask that children who participate attend each weekly practice session. It is unfair to students who show up and work hard every week to have to compete with students who are not putting forth their best effort. Please circle the activity your child will be attending as you fill out the permission slip below. Math-r-Rama Focuses on 4-6th grade students, though younger students may join based on interest. Practice practical math skills and prepare for competitions Learn to calculate bottle deposit and sales tax Expand existing math skills, and brush up on areas of weakness Practice memorization of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division facts Attend competitions (during the school day, 3-4 a year).
