At the MathCounts contest sponsored by the Society of Engineers, our team took 1st place against some of the best math programs in Northeast Ohio. In addition, we won the individual 1st place (go Clive C!) and several other places in the top 15. See the full story below...
First Place at the Regional Competition
Congratulations to Birchwood’s MathCounts team of
Clive, Nate, Kavya, and Dhweeja. They came in first
place at the Chapter Competition held at Cleveland
State University on March 10. This team will compete
at the state level on March 10 in Columbus, Ohio. In
addition, Vinayak K qualified to be a state competitor
after earning the sixth highest score. These five students
will vie against approximately 400 students at Columbus
State College to make be one of four finalists who
will represent Ohio in Orlando, Florida at the National
Competition.
I would like to make it a point for all of our younger
aspiring math competitors that these students are
not only good mathematicians, but perhaps more
importantly, they are extraordinary workers. They have
spent scores of hours outside of class honing their math
skills as they aspired to be the best. I am quite proud of
them for their efforts and achievements.
