Students from Pottstown elementary schools competed in the annual school district Math Challenge held at Pottstown Middle School. Each of the five elementary buildings was represented by a team of students who competed in intense rounds of the Math 24 Game. Math 24 requires that students do all calculations without the assistance of calculators, paper, or pencils.
