Math Contest Practices

is a national program that promotes middle school mathematics. A competition is held regionally at UNL in February. Eight students may compete from each school. Four students form a team, and four other students are invited to compete as individuals. Students are selected based on in-school contest results, as well as attendance and participation in weekly practice sessions.

2007-2008 MATHCOUNTS practices will be held on two nights, one for 5th and 6th grade, and one for 7th and 8th. 

Practices are challenging and fun! Students gain experience with advanced concepts and non-routine problem solving, and participation will help prepare students for other math contests that are offered at Norris as well.
