For the second consecutive year, students from J.C. Booth Middle will represent Fayette County in the Georgia MathCounts competition after two take top honors at the MathCounts Capital Georgia Chapter tournament.
Eighth graders Ricky Kim and Tony Qin were two of the highest scorers in the region, and have been invited to compete against other top individuals in the state on March 19 in Dunwoody. The top four individual competitors from the state competition will receive an all-expenses paid trip to the national event, which takes place in May.
Teachers Judy Smith and Taylor Smoak are the MathCounts coaches at Booth.
MathCounts is a national program that provides middle school students the opportunity to compete in live, in-person contests against and alongside their peers. The competition consists of four rounds that test accuracy, problem solving processes, critical thinking processes, teamwork, and speed.
