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]
MATHCOUNTS TEAM
- Students can sign up to tryout during our Club Fair, at lunch, on 9/15/23.
- Mr. Santillana will be the coach and can only take 14 kids. Students with the top scores on the preliminary test will be chosen for the team. All grades welcome.
