What does the practice look like?

  • Practice Problems given to be solved in small groups in the form of a game- math baseball

Is this for the entire school year?

  • Yes at least until our last competition date

What costs are associated with participating?

  • $20 per student- This will cover the team’s entry fee and cost of practice material
  • Any addition funds left over can go toward club t-shirt, gear, etc.
