In the spring of each school year, our district holds a Math competition that is open to students in grades 3-5. The students are selected using test criteria and demonstration of skills necessary for teamwork challenges. Team members meet after school with their coaches to practice for the competition. Destination Imagination DI is an activity which promotes the development of creative thinking and creative problem solving skills among students in K-12. The program offers students a unique opportunity to participate in challenging and motivating activities both inside and outside their regular classroom curriculum.
Students learn to work with others as a team.
They develop self-confidence by creating solutions, evaluating their ideas, and making final decisions. They develop their creative skills through problem solving and independent thinking. These teams only perform the long term solution. Country Place begins the DI year with a kick-off meeting in September, followed by the district DI Awareness Night and Coaches Training. Training continues from September until February.
