The Dallas Mavericks and ExxonMobil have teamed up again for Math Matters to the Mavs! Students in grades 6 through 8 have the opportunity to win Mavs prizes and tickets by creating their own Mavs math problems!
Students will create word problems using anything related to the Mavs (ex: player stats, ticket pricing, game attendance, player salary, exercise regime, etc.) In order to be eligible, students must submit the problem and their worked out answer.
The six most creative word problems will be selected as the winners, and each student will receive an 8X10 autographed photo and replica jersey of their favorite player, $50 Mavs Ultimate Fan Shop gift card, and two tickets to the Mavs game on Saturday, April 3rd vs. Oklahoma City where they’ll be recognized on court at halftime!
All entries must be postmarked no later than March 5, 2010. Each student may submit as few or as many word problems as they would like (only one cover page per student necessary.)
Reading Challenge
The Mavs are again offering the annual Mavs Reading Challenge open to all 2nd-5th grade Metroplex students, which supports the NBA's Read to Acheive/Lee Para Aprender literacy program that promotes the value of reading and online literacy and encourages families and adults to read regularly with young children.
The Reading Challenge's focus is to encourage students in grades 2-5 to read in their leisure time and to teach them that reading can be fun! The program runs for two months (dates to be determined each season) and prizes are awarded based on the number of minutes a student reads. The school that reads the most minutes overall wins a pep rally from a Mavericks player.
Schools interested in partcipating should contact Gina Calvert at gina.calvert@dallasmavs.com.
