Pemetic’s Math Counts Team had a great weekend at Reeds Brook Middle School. The MathCounts Chapter competition was held on January 27th. These kids spent the day solving some very challenging math problems. The competition consisted of three rounds, two individual tasks, and one team task. They did extremely well in each of the rounds. They made Pemetic proud! We are hoping for more students to join our club. Grades 6 - 8 are eligible to compete. Meetings are held Wednesdays after school in Mrs. Reed’s room from 3:00 - 4:00.
