MATH CLUB Gr. 5-8 - Brooklyn, NY 2020

The BASIS Independent Brooklyn Math Clubs help foster a love for mathematics and problem solving. At meetings, students are given problems from past competitions to solve and discuss. This prepares students for the many competitions throughout the year and teaches new problem solving techniques that help students gain mathematical insight. We will be preparing for MATHCOUNTS, and the AMC series by reviewing problem sets. Lucy Snyder: Ms. Snyder is a Brooklyn Tech math team alum, who in her senior year competed on the Senior A team for NYCIML AND was voted prom queen. She continued her study of math at Hunter College, where she also co-founded Macaulay’s first math club (MATHaulay) and launched its first ever undergraduate math research symposium. Matt Hughes: In his youth, Matt competed in local, state, and national math competitions, occasionally taking first in the US. He has graduate degrees in mathematics from Columbia University, where he also taught math courses. He also has two young children attending BASIS Independent Brooklyn.
