Sixteen members of the Class of 2024 competed in the regional Math Is Cool tournament on March 10 at Mount Rainier High School in Des Moines, with fifth grader Daniel D. leading the Tarriers to an eighth place finish in the Phi Division. Math Is Cool is a part of Academics Are Cool, a statewide program for students in elementary, middle, and high school that promotes learning across a variety of academic subjects.
Four teams of fifth graders represented CWA at the regional Math Is Cool meet, which comprised two individual tests (open-ended and multiple-choice problem sets) and four team tests (college bowl, math relay, multiple choice, and joint contest). Four divisions (with approximately 50 teams total) competed at the regional level, and there were 11 teams in the Phi Division.
Leading up to the regional competition was an in-house competition here at CWA in late February. The in-house competition was a great opportunity for the fifth graders to gain experience in the types of events and atmosphere of the regional competition. The individual winners of the in-house competition were Nawal A., Daniel D., and James Z.
Congratulations, Tarriers!
