Spring Math Competition Highlights
The very busy math competition season has wrapped up with the state regional contests. Many of our Middle School and Upper School students enjoyed the experience of attending various math contests while visiting beautiful college campuses. They met and competed against students from across the region, attended math talks by college professors, and participated in math activities led by grad students (Did you know you can cut a star out of paper in one cut? Ask one of our students who attended the contest at App.) They worked diligently to prepare, working out contests from past years.
Here’s a recap of recent math competitions:
Appalachian State University & North Carolina A&T University
On March 21, nine Algebra I students competed in the Level 1 contest at Appalachian State University. On March 22, two Algebra students competed in the Level 1 contest at NC A&T.
