Seabury Students Lead Math Competition
On Saturday, March 28th, a group of Seabury Hall Middle School and Upper School students volunteered at Pu’u Kukui Elementary School for the sixth session of the Maui Math Circle to help students learn advanced math concepts and problem solving skills.
There were over 35 students in attendance who are enrolled in third, fourth, and fifth grade in schools throughout Maui. The students took part in a competition with problems on topics they had learned about in the previous five sessions, which included patterns, counting, divisibility rules, prime numbers, statistics, and venn diagrams.
After the competition, the top three individual students in each grade level were awarded medals. In 3rd grade, 1st place was awarded to Jaelia Olaitiman, 2nd place went to Kody Sakamoto, and 3rd place went to Jasmyn Yoshikawa. In 4th grade, 1st place went to Derek Takeno, 2nd place was awarded to Emily Tom, and 3rd place went to Deanne Suehisa. In 5th grade, 1st place was awarded to Leela Waterford, 2nd place went to Sean Sakamoto, and 3rd place was awarded to Ava Notarangelo. Thank you and congratulations to all of the students who participated in this year's Maui Math Circle program!
