Math Team With Great Statistics

The Southwest High School Math Team performed admirably at the second math team meet of the school year. On Monday, November 26, six of the Minneapolis high schools and one charter school met up at South High School for some competitive mathematics.
Some statistics from the meet:

• 131 total students from six schools in the Minneapolis division participated
• 53 Southwest students participated individually at the meet
• Of the 53 Southwest students, 51 scored at least one point. The questions are already becoming more challenging this year. I’m pleased that we had over a 96% success ratio.
• Two students from Southwest tied for the highest individual point total at the meet.
• The varsity team (official scoring team) earned 90 of a possible 136 points, finishing in first place within the division. That point total should put us in with the top 10 teams in the state, based on past history.
• The varsity team scored a perfect team event. They got lucky on one question, but had clear solution methods for the other five questions.
• The junior varsity team earned 46 of a possible 136 points, unofficially finishing in second place within the division for the second consecutive meet.
