Teacher in Charge: Ms. Asato
Honorary Advisor: Mrs. Winegar
Attention Mathletes! Math Club will be held on select Wednesdays during lunch
(12:10 - 12:46 pm) in room F-2 (Ms. Asato's room). Bring your lunch - if you
purchase lunch, come see Ms. Asato during Brunch on Wednesday or at the
beginning of lunch for a Math Club Front of the LinePass
so that you can get your lunch quickly and join us for some math fun!
Math Club will begin promptly during Wednesday lunches with a warmup and then
we'll be using MathCounts and Math Olympiad exercises to increase our
mathleticism. You'll get 'homework' to exercise your mathematical abilities
outside of Math Club which will be reviewed the following Math Club session.
Many math teachers will even give you extra credit for attending Math Club!
Activities
and Contests for the 2009-10 School Year
We will be preparing for and participating in five monthly Math Olympiads for
Elementary and Middle School (MOEMS) contests. Scores will be submitted to
MOEMS and we'll be able to see how we do against school around the nation. In
addition, we'll be attending local area math contests and activities - see the
calendar below.
