SCC MATH CLUB TO HOST 13TH ANNUAL HIGH SCHOOL
AREA MATH TOURNAMENT

The St. Charles Community College Math Club, in coordination with the Great Plains Math League, will be sponsoring a math competition for high school students on Saturday, March 6. The competition will take place on the SCC campus in Cottleville.

The cost per team member is $6.  New this year, SCC will be offering an Early Bird Special.  The first three teams to register (maximum of six students per team) will be registered at no charge.  In addition, on the day of the tournament, three teams will be randomly selected to have their registration fees refunded.

Students can compete within grade level, individual and team competitions.  Winners in various categories will receive trophies, ribbons or medals, and there is a trophy for the best overall team.  This tournament is also a means to qualify for the regional and state level competitions.

Every team must be accompanied by an adult age 21 or older. Teams usually consist of six members, but smaller teams are welcome.

“Any high school student is welcome to join in competing,” said Joe Howe, event coordinator and professor of mathematics at SCC.  “We encourage parents, math teachers, scout leaders and any other adults to spread the word to high school students, and also to form teams of high school age students.  It is a terrific tournament.”
