Math Team Continues to Score Well

Mathematics students at Blair enjoy periodically participating in a mathematics contest against other students in Warren County. Mathematics teacher Josh Markey explains the procedure. “We ‘compete’ in a general competition in which many New Jersey schools take part. Every month or so everyone takes a test on a given day, and then every school sends its team score (the sum of the best five individual scores) to ‘math league headquarters,’ and the results are revealed a few weeks later.”

Josh added, “In early January, the Blair Math Team competed in the third of the six contests constituting the New Jersey Math League. Although our numbers were down a bit from past competitions, the students who took part stepped up to the challenge and managed to post a good team score of 21. Top scorers included Ben Jayson ’06, who scored a 5, and Anthony D’Amato ’06, Anna Jansons ’06, James Hinton ’06, Kevin Jang ’05, Hector Maquieira ’05, and Victor Leung ’06, all of whom scored a 4. We hope to field a deeper team for February’s competition, but those who have competed have done a great job thus far.”
