As most of you know, twelve of your fellow Middle school students were involved in the MATH RELAY and MATHCOUNTS events at the American School of San Salvador. The school organized both the MATH RELAY, on February 13th, and the MATHCOUNTS competition, on the 14th.
Twelve schools participated and made this the largest competition in all of Central America: American School of El Salvador, American School of Guatemala, Antigua International School of Guatemala, Escuela Internacional Sampedrana of Honduras, Lincoln International Academy of Nicaragua, Maya School of El Salvador, Panamerican School of El Salvador, Village School of Guatemala, Balboa Academy of Panama, Academia Britanica Cuscatleca (British School), the International School of San Salvador and our school, Colegio Interamericano of Guatemala.
There were more than 200 students that participated, which consisted of approximately 50 Teams. Interamericano’s Team A placed 4th, Team B placed 6th, and Team C placed 13th (a huge accomplishment for Team C as all are brand new to the competition this year!)
In the individual competition, which consisted of a Sprint Round (30 questions in 40 minutes), 4 Target Rounds (2 questions at a time and they only have 6 minutes to answer!) Our students placed 12th, 15th, and 16th. In the Math Relay, our team placed 5th!
Please be sure to congratulate your classmates on a job well done!
