All Girls Math Tournament

On Saturday, May 18th, we hosted the famous All Girls Math Tournament at Logan Heights Library! During this annual AGSS tradition, the girls participated in a math competition, doing all sorts of problems individually and as groups, divided into 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 age groups, all with different problem sets. 

The girls started the competition by doing a Sprint Round, which was focused on simpler concepts that they could do in quick periods of time. Then, they moved onto a Target Round, with harder problems. After two successful rounds, they took a break for yummy cookies, bananas and water. They ended the competition with a Group Round, where they separated by grade levels and worked together to complete problems. The workshop ended with a celebratory award ceremony for all the different rounds, with lots of amazing prizes—from a stuffed pi symbol, to a jewelry store gift card, to math-themed shirts. 
​
Overall, it was an extremely successful All Girls Math Tournament, and all the girls were able to display their amazing problem-solving abilities. Be sure to look out for our next workshop on astrophysics, which will be on June 1st at Mission Valley Library.
