The Oak Hill Middle School MathCounts team won third place at the MathCounts MetroNorth Chapter competition, held online last month, qualifying the team for the in-person state-level competition this weekend. In the MetroNorth competition, twelve OHMS students participated, and four members of the team placed in the top quarter in the individual rounds. These four represented the school in the collaborative team round, solving 9 of the 10 problems and advancing to the state competition. MathCounts is a mathematics competition for middle-school students with chapter, state, and national events. The Oak Hill team is coached by Newton South HS students many of whom are MathCounts alumni. The coaches hope to start a MathCounts team at Brown MS next year.
