    24 Game

    24 Game

    Challenge24 is a card game where students are given four numbers that they must calculate a solution equaling 24 using all four numbers once and any of the four basic operations (add, subtract, multiply, and/or divide).  Students in all mathematics classes participate in this activity informally throughout the school year.  In early spring students compete in their mathematics classes to be one of the top three students on their team.  These top 3 students per team may participate in further competition to determine a school champion, 2nd place,and 3rd place.

    MATHCOUNTS

    MATHCOUNTS is an after school activity for students in grades 6-8 leading to the MATHCOUNTS Regional competition and possibly beyond. Due to the MATHCOUNTS national regulations this activity is only available for students in grades 6-8 without exception.  Additionally, students in this activity would also participate in the Math Olympiads–Division M contests.  This year due to the extremely high interest in grades 6-8th a separate MATHCOUNTS club was scheduled for grade 6 at LMS. This allows additional students to participate who otherwise might not be able.
