Incentives
Graders Needed
Math Superstars is a completely optional program for your child (K-4) if they love problem solving or want additional practice. This is not a classroom or teacher-led program.
If you select to participate in this supplemental program, you will print a worksheet every week. Please do one worksheet per week. Grade-level worksheets are available on the left side of this page to download and print (PDF format). 5th Grade worksheets are available for download but this program does not include 5th grade and the worksheets do not need to be submitted.
The worksheets are graded by a classroom volunteer, not the teacher, and returned to the students. The graders offer positive comments and feedback to help each student understand the desired answers. Kindergarten Math Superstars have 10 worksheets, and grades 1-4 have 25, which comes to about 1 per week.
There will be prizes awarded after students have completed a certain number of worksheets and their efforts will be recognized on the Math Superstars brag board located in the hallway across from the library.
The spirit of this program is to be fun and to provide additional math exposure. The problems will not correlate with classroom instruction, but are age appropriate. PTA is excited to offer this program again this year, and we are committed to cheering on the students for trying!
Contact Math Superstars Chair, Liz Simmons at spicewoodPTAMS@gmail.com if you have any questions about this program.

Math Superstars Bulletin Board
We will have our very own brag board to show off our participants! The students will see their name by the library and will receive stickers after each completed worksheet.
Graders Needed!
One rock star parent grader per classroom (K-4) will be needed. (Your child's teacher will be contacting you soon if we still need a grader for your classroom). Please email at SpicewoodPTAMS@gmail.com if interested.
Being a grader will involve checking the “Graded” folder outside your child’s classroom weekly. Take the completed sheets home and grade according to your schedule. Graded worksheets will be returned via Friday folders. Answer keys are provided to each grader!
Individual grades are not recorded; participation encouraged more than accuracy. However, graders will have a list to keep track of participating students and the number of completed worksheets. Graders will place stickers on Math Superstars Brag Board outside of library for each completed worksheet. Graders also get to award the prizes to the students!
