Mathcounts Club/Team Forming
I would like to start a MATHCOUNTS club and competition team at Ballyshannon. The club season will begin in November. We will hold a school competition in January and will form our competition team as a result of the school competition. Students will compete regionally in February. If our students qualify for state, it will be in early spring.
Students who participate in MATHCOUNTS club will meet weekly to work through 4 different types of math problems. We will conduct individual sprints, individual problem solving, team problem solving, and a countdown round that measures speed and accuracy of math problem solving.
If your son or daughter LOVES math, this may be the club for them. Check out the info below if you are interested:
