Stephenson Middle School Math Club participated in the Columbia High School Mathematics Quiz Bowl on Saturday, Oct 4. The purpose of the Quiz Bowl is to provide students an opportunity to apply the concepts taught at the middle & high level to problems which not only range from easy to difficult but also cover a wide range of applications. Many problems are designed to challenge students and to offer problem solving experiences beyond those provided in most middle/high school mathematics classes. Cameron Smith won first place in the Junior Varsity Divison. Team members are Cameron Smith, Allis Royer, Khalid Hampton, Justin Graham, Antone' Joseph, Nya Reed, Murelle Harris, Shamar Swift, Tyler Brown, Aissata Bah and Ar Monii Price All students received a certificate of particpation.

Math Counts is a national middle school coaching and competitive mathematics program that promotes mathematics achievement through a series of fun and engaging "bee" style contests.
