Great minds were at work Tuesday morning as Northeast State Community College welcomed more than 200 area high school students to compete in the 65th Annual Statewide High School Mathematics Contest.
Math minds at work.
Sponsored by the Tennessee Mathematics Teachers’ Association (TMTA), the contest brings high school students from across the area to test their math skills in a variety of disciplines. Northeast State has served as a local testing center for the competition for more than 20 years. Contestants took their tests in the performing arts center theatre on the Blountville campus.
“Northeast State has hosted this event since 1999,” said Malissa Trent, dean of the Mathematics Division at Northeast State. “We are always delighted to welcome students and teachers to this competition.”
The contest welcomed student competitors representing the following high schools: Daniel Boone High School, Science Hill High School, Tennessee High School, Unicoi County High School, Volunteer High School, Providence Academy, and Tri-Cities Christian Schools.
Students compete in six divisions of mathematics subjects: algebra I; algebra II; geometry; pre-calculus; calculus; and statistics. The contest is open to all public, private, and parochial schools in Tennessee. After grading and re-grading of test results, the local testing center submits the top 10 contestants in each subject division to the East Tennessee region. Those contestants compete at the regional and statewide levels. The competition’s regional chair is Kim Nunn, associate professor of Mathematics at Northeast State. The local contest also gets great support from Northeast State mathematics associate professors, Teresa Gardner and Cindy McNabb.
TMTA hosts an annual meeting in September each year, which includes a Friday night banquet
to announce and recognize the state’s top ten winners in each contest. The program booklet
distributed at the banquet contains not only the statewide top ten winners, but also the top ten
students in each region of East, Middle, and West Tennessee.
The contest strives to stimulate interest in mathematics among students and raise the level of mathematics competence in Tennessee. The event also seeks to honor high school students who demonstrate a high level of competence in mathematics.
Thank you to all the students, math teachers, and Northeast State faculty who brought this event together for another great year!
