Chris-Math: Teaching math to students with a Christmas flavor


The annual extravaganza that puts a mathematical spin on the joys of the season lit up the week before Christmas break in All Saints Regional School, Manahawkin.

The arcade-style event, which blends old fashioned math with today’s technology, offered all 300 students in the school the chance to participate in nearly 20 math-based games, and arrived with the customary exuberance that’s been its hallmark since Chris-Math first catapulted into the school’s calendar more than a decade ago.

Seventh grade teacher Tonya Muller, who helps to coordinate the event, described the exuberance with which students greeted Chris-Math – a fixture on the school’s calendar for over 12 years.

Muller said a very good time was had by all, from the 65 7th and 8th grade students who planned the games, put together the prizes – 300 paper bags chock full of necklaces, assorted candy and treats – that the kids won, designed and created the posters, decorations and the booths, to the 300 students who played the games.

The event unfolded Dec. 18 from 9 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. with an additional half hour for cleanup, said Muller, who added that the activity center was as clean as a whistle before the student crew departed.
