Math Teams & Contests

There are 3 different, voluntary math avenues at Fisher:

  • Math Olympiads team
  • MathCounts team
  • AMC8 math competition

MATH OLYMPIADS TEAM

  • This is a parent run organization.  
  • It typically runs from October through March and includes 5 different math contests.
  • It can potentially host a 6th grade, a 7th grade, and an 8th grade team.
  • Currently we don’t have any parents that have signed up to run a team but that’s a work in progress.
  • We will be reaching out to parents in the community through the Wednesday Fisher Flyer soon.
  • If interested in running a team, please note that we have every lesson prepared and digitized.  We will hold a training for first time parent coaches.
  • Contact Mr. Santillana if interested in coaching:  [email protected]

  • Students can sign up to tryout during our Club Fair, at lunch, on 9/15/23.
