Homeroom 3A participated in Prodigy, an online math tournament, which pitted the students against other third, fourth, and fifth grade classes around the world. There were two ways to place in this tournament: having the highest average of questions answered and/or having the highest percentage of questions correct. After three grueling weeks of competition, 3A finished in fourth place in highest overall questions answered, and third place in highest percentage of problem correct. The students’ valiant efforts got them one free month of membership to the game. They’re aiming for first place the next tournament that rolls around! Congratulations, 3A!
