All Girls Math Tournament

​On May 17th, girls from grades 3-8 participated in AGSS’s 11th annual All Girls Math Tournament at the Mission Valley Library! In this approachable tournament, our participants solved challenging math problems individually and collaboratively in three divisions: grades 3-4, 5-6 and 7-8. The Sprint Round included 30 problems to be solved in 40 minutes, and the Target Round included 4 pairs of 2 problems each to be solved in 6 minutes. Both rounds challenged our participants’ speed and accuracy. On the other hand, the Team Round, which was composed of 10 more challenging questions, encouraged our participants to work collaboratively and efficiently to solve the most problems in the shortest amount of time. We ended our competition with an easter egg relay as the participants played the game 24, where they used 4 numbers and the 4 basic operations (addition, subtraction, division and multiplication) to create the number 24.

Finally, our top participants were awarded some wonderful prizes at our awards ceremony. Of course, AGMT would not be possible without the support of our generous sponsors, including Art of Problem Solving, Minute Earth, Mathnaisum, Magikid Robotics, JoJo’s Creamery, 3Blue1Brown and more, who provided funding and wonderful prizes for our contestants.

Our next workshop is on Mechanical Engineering on June 7, hosted at Mission Valley Library, and we will also be hosting our annual NASA Astro Camps in collaboration with The Clueless Robotics Team on June 13th and June 14th. Look forward to seeing you there!
