MATHCOUNTS Mathcounts is an accelerated math competition for the seventh and eighth grade students. A student must be recommended by his or her math teacher to participate. The student attends practice sessions held once a week for an hour after school beginning in October. A test is given to the participants in late January or early February to determine the team. Attendance at practice is also a factor. The team of four represents the school in late February in district competition held at JCJC. This will be CA’s 5th year to participate recently, having competed in the 1980’s previously. Our team has placed in the top 4 teams each year. Last year we finished 3rd in district, with Jon Luke Watts placing 3rd in the individual competition this year. A set of 6 scientific calculators, costing approximately $10 each would be helpful to the program.
