STAPLES — Students in fourth through sixth grades representing schools from throughout central Minnesota, including Cass, Crow Wing, Morrison, Todd and Wadena counties participated in the final Math Masters competitions of the 2022-23 school year on March 9 and April 26 at Sourcewell in Staples, with many local students taking home top honors.
The Math Masters mathematics competition program challenges fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills in mathematics. Students compete as individuals and on teams in eight rounds of competition. Students’ academic effort and achievement are recognized in each competition element: fact drill, individual round, and team competition.
Sourcewell Student Academics Coordinator Phillip Olsen said the students participating in both local events demonstrated dedication to the discipline of math and a passion for numbers.
“It was another great season for these students,” Olsen said in a news release. “The intelligence and comradery of each of these teams is something to be admired, and our local schools should be proud of how well they were represented.”
