Congratulations to the Math Counts team from Highland Catholic School. They recently competed in the regional Math Counts competition at Inver Hills Community College. This event has team and individual events. Our team placed fifth out of nineteen teams. We are very pleased with these results as each school is only allowed to send four seventh/eighth grade students. This means that some of the very large suburban schools choose from hundreds of students compared to our school enrollment. Of course, we think we have the BEST students ANYWHERE! Here is the team getting ready to head to the competition.
Meanwhile, we have four Destination Imagination teams preparing for their competition on March 2. These next two weeks will find them squeezing in some extra practices as they polish and refine their skits. We wish them all the best.
Finally, third grade Resource Room students have been busy investigating geometry using pentomino blocks. Here they are trying to find all the squares and rectangles that can be made from one set. They then diagram their solutions.
