State Math Meet

St. Brigid 7th grade students competed in the Maine State Middle School Math Meet at the Portland Expo.  Math meets include individual tests of algebra and geometry followed by a section of combined team problems.

Throughout the year, St. Brigid students have been participating in weekly practices in preparation for the state meet and regional meets held throughout southern Maine.  Practices included learning methods for solving challenging problems and strategies for working as a team.

This was St. Brigid's first year competing in the Southern Maine Math League.  Due to members' solid work and preparation, the team improved its standing at every meet this year.  With this success, St. Brigid is looking to expand  team membership to include 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th graders.  Information about the Math Team will be sent home to families at the start of next school year.
