WAMC Middle School Team wins a Worldwide Honorable Mention at Purple Comet!
Please join me in congratulating our WAMC teams on their performance at Purple Comet! on April 27. This year we had a record breaking participation with 4 middle school and 3 high school teams competing.
Purple Comet! is a world-wide team competition and all four of our teams competed in the Mixed Teams category. Mixed teams are designed for home schooled students, students who all attend the same regional mathematics club, or some other non-school organization.
For the first time in history, our middle school team made a worldwide Honorable Mention! This is also the first time our high school team placed among the top 2 in New York.

Our teams placed 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 8th and 9th in New York. Both the high school A Team and the middle school Blue Team both placed in the top 10% in the world

A note about age.
A note about age.
We are often asked what ages our math circle meetings are for. We believe that math is for people of all ages. There is a hidden assumption in our society that doing math is 'only for kids' or 'for school.' We disagree. Everyone, even adults, is allowed to have fun doing math. Nevertheless, some things, like our Advanced Contest Math Class, assume some level of knowledge. Let the topics be the guide.
