Goal setting is a major part of the successful implementation of the Mathematics Pentathlon Program. Key Goals to consider are listed below.

GOAL SETTING CONSIDERATIONS:

• What Division levels do you plan to include at home?
  • Division I (Kindergarten and 1st Grade)
  • Division II (2nd and 3rd Grade)
  • Division III (4th and 5th Grade)
  • Division IV (6th and 7th Grade)

• Who will attend the training presented by the Pentathlon Institute? The Pentathlon Institute provides training to optimize the instructional use of the program (prerequisites, curriculum, and assessment connections).

• Where are you going to play the games? You will need to have a table on which to play the games or you can use floor space.
  
  
• When should you teach the games? Most parents teach the games after school and on weekends. Home schoolers use the program as part of their instructional day.



• What are the suggested teaching-time allotments for each Division ?
  • Division I (Kindergarten & 1st Grade) 45 - 60 minutes per session
  • Division II (2nd and 3rd Grade) 60 minutes per session
  • Division III (4th and 5th Grade) 60 - 75 minutes per session
  • Division IV (6th and 7th Grade) 60 - 75 minutes per session
