WAMC places 5th overall at LMT Fall
This past weekend, our team participated at LMT Fall 2025 in Massachusetts. The Lexington Math Tournament is a biannual competition for middle schoolers written and run by students at Lexington High School. The competition format is similar to MOAA and EMCC, two other middle school team competitions WAMC participates in. LMT Fall is slightly different from LMT Spring and includes individual speed and theme rounds, team round and guts round.
Please join me in congratulating our team on their outstanding performance at LMT Fall 2025. They placed 4th in the team round and 5th overall. Big congratulations to Ishanvi Jha who placed among the top 10 competitors both overall and in the speed round.

We are often asked what ages our math circle meetings are for. We believe that math is for people of all ages. There is a hidden assumption in our society that doing math is 'only for kids' or 'for school.' We disagree. Everyone, even adults, is allowed to have fun doing math. Nevertheless, some things, like our Advanced Contest Math Class, assume some level of knowledge. Let the topics be the guide.
