The key to success in math class is PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE !

(Just as it is for basketball, cheerleading, soccer, etc.) Students will have daily math homework (practice), and it is expected that all assignments will be completed neatly, in a timely fashion, and that all work will be shown.

Junior High students are offered two opportunities to challenge themselves in the area mathematics:

 

MathCounts

MathCounts is a national program which builds problem solving skills and encourages students to solve problems in a creative manner.  

We are proud to announce our STM 2010 Mathletes:

Team Members: Grace Bova, Patrick Golden, Ryan Schnabel, Ethan Stinner; Individuals: Alan Bebout, James DeMatteo, Julie Hoffman, Andrew Lee;       Alternates: Caitlin Daday, Matthew Lienhard, Erik Ridley, Jason Torok.  These mathletes will represent our school at the Regional Competition on February 6th.

If you would like to learn more about this challenging, skill building, and fun problem solving national program visit the MathCounts Website !

 

Pennsylvania Mathematics League (PML)

Junior High students are invited to Central Catholic High School on a Friday in February to compete in this statewide competition.  This is a one-time only after school commitment so it is a great way for those students who have many after school activities to also take some time to challenge themselves in the area of mathematics.  Students will take several practice PML tests during math class to help prepare for the competition. 

The competition will be held on Friday, February 19th!!

See Ms. K or Mrs. Krajsa for an information sheet on February 11th!!
