An Upcoming MS Math Competition

Calling all Grade 7 and Grade 8 MS Mathematicians! Are you interested in participating in a math contest? The Gauss Contests introduce students in Grades 7 and 8 to a broader perspective of mathematics in a fun, accessible way. Intriguing problems and a multiple-choice format make the Gauss contests a wonderful opportunity for all participants to grow their interest in and curiosity about the power of math. Students can prepare for the contest by attending the HS Math Club on Thursdays from 3:30-4:30 after school. The contest will be completed in May.

Are you interested? If so, please come to a brief meeting in Mr. Mano’s room (HS room 3307) on Wednesday, January 21 at 11:15.
