Math Team
|
The Math Team is an after-school option is appropriate for any student from grades 10-12 with a sincere interest in solving complex and challenging math problems and competing against teams of strong mathematicians from other schools. Ninth graders may join with permission from the department.
During the 2009-2010 school year, the BB&N Math Team competing in the following leagues/competitions:
The After-School Math Team meets regularly twice a week after school for one and a half hours. During these meetings, students practice problem sets similar to those given at various math competitions. The group discusses strategies and techniques to best solve these problems. In addition, students learn math topics generally not included in the BB&N math curricula. In addition to the twice-weekly practices, an expectation is that students will attend math competitions (as space permits); these include 2 to 3 off-campus team competitions per month.
Taken in combination with two sessions of Health and Fitness, a student fulfills his/her athletic requirement for the season. Signing up for the After-School Math Team is by season but it is only be offered in Fall and Winter. Students may choose either the Fall or Winter season.
After-School Math is limited to 12 students per term. If there is additional interest, preference will be given to upperclassmen and/or students that demonstrate the greatest aptitude.
