Even though there were parents, grandparents and siblings in the audience, and 20 teams of three mathematics students going head to head, the room was so quiet you'd hardly know there was a competition taking place. But don't mistake quiet for lack of intensity.
These Mountain View Middle School students, armed with pencils, some scratch paper, and a Smart Board clicker, were vying for one of three top spots in the second round of Moreno Valley Math League, a collaborative competition involving teams of sixth-, seventh- and eighth-graders at all six middle schools.
At stake was the chance to advance to the third round and be one of the top nine mathematics competitors from their school.
To succeed at Math League, students have to pool their knowledge and strengths and work together -- a lesson that applies to just about any successful endeavor in life. The second-round competition will finishes up in April.
