LEESBURG - After being cancelled because of weather, a new date and time has been set for Teresa Jordan's sixth-grade math class to receive their statewide award.
Tuesday at 2:30 p.m., representatives from the Indiana Department of Education and Apangea will visit Leesburg Elementary School to award Jordan's students the First Annual Hoosier Math Cup trophy and prizes.
Apangea Learning, a provider of online supplemental math instruction, sponsored the statewide contest.
Students in Jordan's class worked on Apangea math in class and at home to earn the highest student average of math completed, beating all other competing schools in Indiana. During the contest, more than 23,000 Indiana students spent 37,000 hours on Apangea math, completing nearly 122,000 word math problems.
Jordan and each student in her class will receive t-shirts, a Family Activity Pack with gift cards for dinner and a movie, as well as a personalized certificate. The MVP of the class will receive his choice of a Wii, iPod Touch or a $200 gift card.
