The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (considerably harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of relationships.
The fifth graders will compete in two more WordMasters meets in the coming months, and hope to beat their record of seventh place.
