Six Upper St. Clair middle school students earned top honors at the recent CalcuSolve math problem-solving competition, sponsored by the Allegheny Intermediate Unit.
Fort Couch Middle School eighth graders Mateo Lin and Brayden Wong captured first place in the competition. From Boyce Middle School, sixth grader Keerthan Inampudi earned second place. Sixth grader Simon Chapagai and fifth graders Sam Chapagai and Austin Fang tied for third place.
The students were coached by Lydia Herman and Emma McDonnell, middle school gifted/enrichment teachers.
“We are incredibly proud of all of our participants for their hard work, perseverance, and outstanding problem-solving skills,” Mrs. Herman said. “Congratulations to everyone who represented our schools so well and demonstrated strong analytical thinking and teamwork.”
CalcuSolve is an annual mathematics competition in which students compete individually and as members of four-person teams. Participants complete nine problems – seven individual challenges and two team challenges – within a designated time limit.
