Students broaden their knowledge base
as well as improve their problem-solving skills.
Students’ math skills are challenged in meets against area middle
schools.
The HKMS Math Team welcomes all 6th, 7th and 8th graders who like to test their wits with a variety of
mathematical problems. Students have a chance to broaden their
knowledge base as well as improve their problem-solving skills. Our
team is in Division B of the Fairfield County Junior Mathematics League,
and competes with Tomlinson M. S., Fairfield Woods M.S., Ludlowe M.S.,
Broadview M.S., and Newtown M.S. Meets are scheduled by the League, and
are hosted on five Tuesday afternoons during the year by the various
schools in the league. Part of the fun is going to the meets and seeing
all the students from the other division schools. The enthusiasm is
wonderful!
Students are expected to attend the regularly scheduled practice
sessions which will be after school. Students are encouraged, but not
required, to participate in the meets.
When the team travels to the
off-campus meets, it leaves Keller at 3:20 P.M. and returns at 5:20 P.M..
There are only five meets during the year. The team relies on parents
to provide rides to and from the meets.
If there is interest, other math
contests and competitions will be made available to students.
All students are welcome to
participate! |
