Math Counts!

Clarksville Middle School will once again have a Math Counts after school club. We will meet on Tuesdays after school from 2:35-3:45 in Mr. Brubaker's classroom. The first meeting will be Sept 29. Math Counts is a national organization focused on competitive mathematics. At our club meeting we will work on high-level math problems both individually and in teams. Students will be introduced to concepts not yet covered in the math curriculum and have the opportunity to compete against their peers. At the end of December, a team of students will be chosen, based off their scores in practice competitions, to represent CMS at several competitions. If you have questions, email Mr. Brubaker at graig_brubaker@hcpss.org. Permission slips can be turned in directly to Mr. Brubaker, to your math teacher, or emailed to Mr. Brubaker.
