Academic Competitions & Clubs

MathCounts is a great opportunity for children who love math and problem-solving! During club time we work on interesting problems and learn tricks for solving difficult math problems. The Competition Series has 4 levels of competition—school, chapter, state and national. Each level of competition is comprised of 4 rounds—Sprint, Target, Team and Countdown Round. For more information, check out https://www.mathcounts.org/ 

Each year, all students can participate in the School Competition (January), 10-12 can participate in the Chapter Competition (February), and students advancing from there can participate in the State (March) and even National (April/May) competitions.

SIAM's M3 Math Modeling Challenge is a 14-hour race against the clock to research and use math to develop a solution to a current problem. Students grades 11-12 can work in teams of 3-5 students. We will meet every week during homeroom on Mondays to learn about Math Modeling and prepare for the competition weekend (late February / early March).
