MATHLETES |  |
Mathletes is a group of students from all four grade levels who compete against students at other schools by taking tests on various mathematical topics. Competitions include conference, regional, invitational, and state contests, and students compete as individuals and in teams of various sizes. Topics covered may be very specific, such as factoring, or very broad, such as geometry. Awards are given for individual, team, and school performance.
Here are the dates for the 2010-11 competitions:
Northern Illinois Big 12 Conference Math Contest -- TBA
Lemont Invitational Math Contest -- TBA
ICTM Regional Math Contest – Saturday, February 26, 2011
JJC Invitational Math Contest – Wednesday, March 9, 2011
ICTM State Math Contest – Saturday, April 30, 2011
The MCHS Mathletes traditionally perform very well at contests, bringing home first, second, and third place finishes in many categories. Our division placement is based on a combination of enrollment and geographic location, which means we compete against other outstanding schools year after year. We have had students qualify for state competition each year for several years.
For more information about Mathletes or to sign up, please see one of the coaches: Mr. Vahle, Mrs. Shannon, or Mr. Ortiz.
