MathCounts Competition

Eighth grade students from Marcy Open School attended the MathCounts competition on Friday, February 10.  These students are in blended Algebra 1 and Geometry courses through the MPS Online program.  While they were at the competition, students took individual tests and a group test.  They also participated in a speed round where correct results were rewarded with candy!  No one placed this year, but it was a fun morning for all.
