Fifth graders in Douglas MacConnell’s class at East Elementary School placed second in the nation in the Prodigy Math Madness Tournament Contest, which ran from March 8-26. Dubbed the “Mac A Ronis,” the group was up against 2,375 other contenders across the country and achieved an accuracy score of 97.57%. The team will receive an Amazon gift card and Prodigy membership access as a prize. Special thanks go to Math Coach Jennifer Diamond and Director of Mathematics Chris Kozak for their support.
