| MATH FACT SCHOLARS |
| PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE! |
MATH FACT SCHOLARS is an extracurricular, math testing program that motivates elementary aged students to develop quick recall of addition, subtraction, multiplication and division math facts...
an essential life skill! Upon mastering these basic facts, Kindergarten - 7th grade students progress to the advanced math testing levels in the program that further develops student efficiency, accuracy
& flexibility, and creates a solid foundation for learning more demanding math concepts in middle school and high school.
The MATH FACT SCHOLARS program creates an atmosphere where students experience positive energy, enthusiasm, and a sense of triumph and victory upon achieving their personal academic
goals, and earning their mathematic achievement medals and trophies! As each academic goal is achieved, student self-confidence soars and so does their determination to pursue the next math challenge!
The MATH FACT SCHOLARS program was developed to provide all students, regardless of
grade level, skill level or financial limitations, with an opportunity to:

The MATH FACT SCHOLARS program was developed to provide all students, regardless of
grade level, skill level or financial limitations, with an opportunity to:
- Achieve proficiency with fundamental math skills: single & multi-digit addition, subtraction,
- Establish and achieve personal academic goals
- Improve self-confidence in mathematics
- Nurture the "PRACTICE" habits required for academic success
- Reduce test taking anxiety
Additionally, the MATH FACT SCHOLARS program:
- Reinforces the partnership between parents, students, teachers and
and confidence in mathematics;

“Experimental studies have demonstrated that changing children’s beliefs from a focus on ability to a focus on effort increases their engagement in mathematics learning, which in turn improves mathematics outcomes: When children believe that their efforts to learn make them “smarter,” they show greater persistence in mathematics learning.” The Final Report of the National Mathematics Advisory Panel, “Foundations for Success”, Commissioned by the Department of Education. |

MATH FACT SCHOLARS WORLD RECORD Youngest Student to Complete 8 Skill Levels in the Program BASIL COSMOPOULOS - 2nd Grade |
How does the new kid at an elementary school find a way to fit in and make new friends? For
Basil Cosmopoulos, setting two world records in the MATH FACT SCHOLARS program made
him one of the most recognized and respected kids at his new elementary school.
As a first grader, Basil set his first world record in April of 2011, by completing the first four skill
levels in the program in record time 105 timed tests covering single-digit and multi-digit addition,
subtraction, multiplication and long division in just 27, 30-minute testing sessions.
Basil, a 2nd grader at Mason Ridge Elementary School in Town and Country, amazed his school
mates again by setting a new world record for being the youngest student to complete all 8 skill
levels in the MATH FACT SCHOLARS program. On May 4, 2012, Basil completed the last of
the 180 tests in the weekly math program that time tested his skills with basic addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division, to adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing fractions
and decimals, and working with percentages; calculating discounts, sales tax, gratuity, and much
more.
To set this new world record, a desire and commitment to repeatedly practice newly acquired math
skills was essential, but little hands had to write quickly too. For the last test in the 8th level of the
program, the Olympian Series-Percent Level, Basil had 3 minutes to convert 50 fractions to their
decimal and percentage equivalents. With just seconds remaining, he did it and was awarded the
Olympian Series - Percent Level trophy in a special ceremony in front of his peers and the parent
volunteers.
Basil earned three medals, four trophies, and now has two MATH FACT SCHOLARS world
record certificates hanging on the achievement bulletin board at Mason Ridge, confirming his
successful completion of testing requirements for all seven levels in the program. When school
starts up again in mid-August, Basil will become an official MATH FACT SCHOLARS
Ambassador, where he will volunteer to help grade tests for the other 154 students enrolled in the
program so they can achieve their math achievement goals too! May, 2012
