On April 23, Lincoln school hosted the Math Counts competition. Math Counts is a district wide math contest for 5th and 6th graders.
For each school, students are given a math test. The top six students from each grade level then compete at the school level, with the competition held in front of their peers. The winners then proceed to the district level.
Questions for this competition are posted on an overhead and contestants are given about 1.5 minutes to answer. The student with the most correct answers wins the competition. Also, the top four students from each school compete in a written math team competition. The teams work together to solve the problems and turn in one sheet of answers. The team with the highest score wins.
Here are the winners:
