Math Competition



Chocksett hosted its sixth annual Math Competition for the district middle schools on Monday Feb. 13th.  These friendly competitions between Mountview, Paxton, Thomas Prince and Chocksett are held throughout the school year at each of the participating middle schools, with a final competition held at Wachusett Regional High School in the spring.  There are two rounds of competition:  an individual round and a team round.  The top three individuals in each of the 6th, 7th and 8th grades are recognized for their achievement at each math meet.  In addition, the top 3 scoring teams are recognized.  The teams are made up of students from each grade.  There were over 60 individuals competing who were then grouped into 20 teams.

A team from Chocksett tied for third place in the team round.  Sanjay G. (8th grade), Ian S. (7th grade) and Andrew M. (6th grade) were the members of that team.  In addition, three individuals took honors in the individual round.  Sanjay came in 2nd among all 8th graders competing, Kyle B. tied for 3rd place in the 8th grade competition, and Andrew M. tied for 1st place in the 6th grade competition.

Congratulations to all Mathletes who participated in this competition!
