COVID-19 TOURNAMENT UPDATES
Parents of registered Pentathletes, check your email for a special message from the President of our Institute. This email went out on Friday, April 10th. Please be sure to check Spam, Promotions or “OTHER” mailboxes in your inbox. **Email sent to all registered Pentathletes can be found HERE.
The Pentathlon Institute has a long-standing policy of No-Refunds. Established to help ensure the longevity of the Math Pentathlon Program, most people are aware of this policy since it is clearly stated on each of our Tournament Registration Sites. The Math Pentathlon Tournament Registration fees support Pentathlon Institute’s year-round work to prepare for each Math Pentathlon Tournament Season. Beyond our Game Monitors who volunteer to observe Pentathletes at Tournaments, the Pentathlon Institute requires full and part-time staff to prepare for each of our National Center Tournaments throughout the year. In addition to all of the direct Math Pentathlon Tournament expenses, the Institute incurs many overhead costs including payroll, insurance, technological and office expenses. Without Tournament Registration fees the Institute would lose our dedicated and experienced staff to prepare for each of these grand events. The No-Refund Policy applies to anything that is beyond the Pentathlon Institute’s ability to control. Examples of this include an individual child not attending a tournament to a health crisis, fire or weather-related incident, or any other catastrophic event. For over 40 years the Pentathlon Institute, a small Not-For-Profit Educational Organization, has made a big impact on the lives of children, parents, and educators alike. Without the income from Tournament Registration fees, the Institute could not sustain the future of the Math Pentathlon Program including the National Math Pentathlon Tournaments, and would, therefore, cease to exist.

GIVE A GIFT OF LEARNING
When purchasing gifts for special occasions we ask that you consider giving a Gift of Learning. This is a great way to have fun while learning with your children at home. If your child is planning on attending a tournament this will also support the efforts of your Math Pentathlon® Teachers and Coaches. For Gift of Learning at home, we suggest purchasing the Family Game Set or Premier Family Game Set which can be found at our Online Store.
Beyond cognitive growth we repeatedly hear from parents & teachers that Math Pentathlon is an excellent program to foster Character Development and offers so many opportunities for growth and positive life lessons to be learned.

Strategic Thinking
Students are organized into cooperative groups of 4 as Think Tanks to grow in their understanding of multiple options and strategies. Through this interactive process of sharing ideas and possibilities, students learn to think many steps ahead, blending both inductive and deductive thinking.
