            LEONARDTOWN , MD -- The annual Elementary Mathematics Challenge Competition, co-sponsored by Southern Electric Cooperative, for fourth and fifth grade students, was held at Esperanza Middle School on Saturday, April 18, 2009.  Seventeen elementary schools (15 public and 2 nonpublic) sent teams of seven fourth graders and seven fifth graders to compete.  The competition consisted of a team portion and an individual portion.  During the team portion team, members collaborated to answer five multiple step mathematics problems.  Teams members then each took an individual test consisting of 40 multiple-choice questions.  The scores of the top five finishers on the individual tests from each school were combined to make the individual school total.  The individual school total was combined with the team score to make the final school team score.
