Math Counts Competition
12 Middle School students competed in the Math Counts competition in February.
Middle School students Deetya D. (Class of 2029), Zoya K. (Class of 2031), Emily Lu (Class of 2031), Olivia L. (Class of 2030), Alexa M. (Class of 2030), Trisha M. (Class of 2030), Sarah N. (Class of 2029), Kristine Q. (Class of 2029), Adhya R. (Class of 2029), Radha R. (Class of 2029), Isabella S. (Class of 2031), and Olivia Z. (Class of 2030), participated in the Math Counts competition in February.
Four girls (Olivia Z., Kristine Q., Deetya D., and Radha R.) were selected to participate in the Countdown Round based on their excellent performance on the written portions of the competition. The Countdown Round is an exciting gameshow-like competition where two contestants are called up two at a time to answer challenging math questions. The students have to perform in front of an audience and buzz in with the correct answer. Olivia Z. placed second in a very competitive field.
The four-person team made up of Kristine Q., Radha R., Trisha M., and Isabella S. placed third overall.
Finally, two competitors, Kristine Q. and Olivia Z., placed high enough on their individual written tests (seventh and fifth respectively) to advance to the State MathCounts Competition in March.
