The BYU Mathematics Education Association is hosting our annual "Discover STEM" event for 6th-8th grade students on Saturday March 9, 2024, 9:00-12:00 at the BYU Wilkinson Center. The Discover STEM Event is free and is an excellent opportunity for your students (and you!) to see real-world applications of mathematics, statistics, science, engineering, computers, technology, and other STEM fields. Your students will learn and have a lot of fun as they experience the interactive and interesting activities provided by members of various STEM-related clubs at BYU!

We ask you to please share this information with your students and their parents so they can be aware of this event. You are welcome to attend with your class if you'd like, but this isn't necessarily a field trip. All 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students may attend with their parents, and we are hoping you can help spread the word by announcing this to your class and including it in emails you send to your students' parents.

Students should pre-register (for free) for the event by February 6th, and they will receive a free t-shirt for doing so. T-shirts will be limited to the first 500 students who pre-register. Here is the link to give the students and their parents for pre-registering.

Mt Nebo Math Moment: Practice Math Facts Without Flash Cards

Here is an easy game to play as a family that practices multiplication facts in a fun way. All you need is two dice and the recording sheet. If you don't have a printer, you can make your own because the game board is just a 10x10 grid. You could change it up and start with any size grid or you could play so each person starts with their own grid.

Roll the dice, draw a rectangle that size anywhere on the grid, multiply the numbers together to get your score for that turn which corresponds to the area and number of squares of the rectangle that you have claimed. When no more rectangles can be drawn, the game is over. The player with the most points wins.

Complete instructions are included with the recording sheet. Even young kids can play because they can count up their squares instead of multiplying!

With a new semester starting, after-school clubs are still going strong at Mt. Nebo. A few clubs have recently been added such as gifted & talented, orchestra, digital gamified platforms, space, dungeons & dragons, etc. Please see the club website: www.bit.ly/mtneboclubs for a list of all the clubs being offered and to register students to participate.
