Middle school MathCounts team members participated in the regional competition, held this past Saturday at Kamehameha Schools Kapalama. Building on their 12th place finish last year, this year's team earned an impressive top 10 recognition. They worked together to earn points through three rounds of problems that tested their mathematical speed, accuracy, reasoning, and collaboration skills. On the individual level, Nathanael Shuai and Caleb Yoshioka placed 47th and 50th, respectively, landing them in the top 25% of all competitors. Mr. Kwong notes that the team's participation in the HBA Middle School math competition in the fall gave these students valuable competition experience. Great job, mathletes!
