Mathematics League Contest 2008

On an unannounced day in February, each student in 6^th, 7th, and 8^th grade is presented a copy of forty math questions that pertain to their grade level. For forty minutes, they work as fast and accurately as they can, striving to be in the top five in the class. Occasionally, there is a tie for a position.

The top five from each class go onto the middle school's math wall of fame, where they will remain year after year. Included on the wall are the highest scores ever per grade, from which former students can be bumped. This year’s top five from each class are:

6^th Grade:

1^st – Daniel Gibbons 2^nd – Tia Valdez 3^rd – Josh Poppenberg

Tied for 4^th   John Beckman, Sarah Jablonski, Sara Irick, Emma Konizeski, Sam Policky
