Any JHS alums still in Iowa City on Saturday, Dec. 15? The math club will be at a competition at City High. Let's get together for lunch if you're still in town. @HannahDeBruin
Congratulations to Chris Yao and Matthew Ding for qualifying for the Math League Championships at UMKC. They competed on May 19th against top students from 9 states/territories. Chris took 3rd place in the 11th grade division. Way to go!!
A lot of mental arithmetic tricks amount to recognizing algebraic patterns in numerical problems. For example, seeing 89*91 as
(90 - 1)(90 1) = 90^2 - 1^2 = 8100 - 1 = 8099.
Congratulations to Chris Yao and Matthew Ding at the State Math Competition!!! Chris Yao got 1st place in the Target round and 2nd place in the Sprint round for 11th grade! Matthew got 3rd place in the Target round for 10 grade! Way to go! #MATH.
