How to Join the LTMS Math Team
To join the LTMS Math Team, all you need to do is show up at practice. We meet after school until 5:30 each day (up to 5 days per week). All "mathletes" are expected to attend at least one practice each week.

Practice schedule (beginning sometime in August): Mondays & Wednesdays: no organized math team practice, but students may stay for small-group instruction or quick-recall strategies (academic team meets are usually on Mondays, chess club usually meets on Wednesdays) Tuesdays: Preparation for written competitions (AMC, Math Olympiad), with emphasis on test-taking strategies Thursdays: Preparation for MathCounts, including team rounds (working cooperatively), with emphasis on efficient problem-solving techniques...most of the after-school math matches will be on Thursdays Fridays: Open practice |
A donation of $50 is requested from all team members. This covers the (considerable) costs of registration for competitions, while eliminating the need for conducting a fund-raising activity during the school year. Students participating in after-school matches are expected to purchase a team polo shirt.
