More than 115 @beechwood_tiger students are currently spending their Saturday morning taking mock exams for their AP math courses! Mr. Weyer, Ms. G, & I are incredibly inspired by their dedication to academic excellence and pursuit of strong @APforStudents scores. #wearebeechwood

As one of the largest @beechwood_tiger clubs, we’ve struggled to find space for our 80 MAΘ members. We often split into 2 rooms & officers run between them to facilitate math activities.

Today we used the new TLC room. It was incredible to have everyone together! #wearebeechwood

Congratulations to senior Joshua Zyzak, our MAΘ Treasurer, on his @beechwood_tiger Math & Computer Science Department Award! 🎉

We had 4 award winners on the Freshman/Sophomore Individual Test:
-Honorable Mentions: Jack Izor & Jimmy Zhou
-Two-way tie for 2nd Place: Simon Cullison & Julian Sandberg

Congrats again to all of our amazing mathletes, who practiced after-school & gave up part of their Saturday!

What a fantastic day at the 31st Annual John O’Bryan Mathematics Competition @nkuedu for our 15 @beechwood_tiger mathletes! Our two JV teams took 1st and 2nd respectively, while our Varsity team took 1st in the 5-person team competition and 3rd overall!! Full results in thread …

Our JV team of Simon Cullison, Maya Gehlhoff, Julian Sandberg, Addy Schilling, & Ellie Stamm won 2nd Place in the Individual Test! Between their 2 events (5-Person Team & Individual Test), this JV team earned 2nd Place overall out of the 10 JV teams in attendance!

I always look forward to attending the annual Sehnert Lecture with my students! Duke professor Dr. Ingrid Daubechies & Canadian artist Dominique Ehrman introduced us to the Mathemalchemy Project, an amazing art/math sculpture which just arrived at @nkuedu! https://t.co/prAdoiX6TQ

Today’s @beechwood_tiger Homecoming theme was “Rhyme Without Reason” — three of our students dressed up as math teachers Mr. Fryer, Mr. Weyer, and Mr. Meyers! #wearebeechwood

[C.J. Fryer @cjfryer]

Our first @BeechwoodMAT meeting of the school year was inspired by @nytimes Connections game (https://t.co/VOj47C29LD). We played a numbers edition written by @artimm2 (https://t.co/GQefPa2Np6), which our MAΘ group loved!
P.S. Play old Connections games at https://t.co/91zFiRSJIo

So proud of our @beechwood_tiger #APCalc & #APStats students for giving up their Saturday morning to take a mock @APforStudents exam! These mathematicians are pursuing excellence in their learning! I’m also getting to participate in the @AdvanceKentucky mock exam scoring session!

That’s a wrap on our 3rd Annual @beechwood_tiger #PiDay! Congrats to our winners from yesterday’s competitions! This afternoon, our 4th-8th graders rotated between five breakout sessions of fun math activities, all developed by our student planning committee! #wearebeechwood 🤓🥧

[Beechwood HS Mu Alpha Theta @BeechwoodMAT]

Our annual #PiDay event kicked off with individual & team competitions, as well as a digits of π memorization contest! We’ll continue engaging these 45 @beechwood_tiger 4th-8th graders tomorrow (3.14) with fun math games & activities developed by our MAΘ crew! #wearebeechwood 🥧

[Beechwood HS Mu Alpha Theta @BeechwoodMAT]

Attention all @beechwood_tiger 4th-8th grade families! The students of MAΘ are hosting a FREE two-day, after-school event to celebrate Pi Day and all things mathematics, and we’d love to have your kiddo there! Details and registration can be found at https://t.co/LiyihwomvE. 🤓🥧

[Beechwood HS Mu Alpha Theta @BeechwoodMAT]

Inspired by her awesome New Year video, we invited Ms. Giesbers to our meeting this morning to share her love of the Fibonacci sequence & the golden ratio! MAΘ students learned about its presence throughout nature and even took body measurements to see how proportional they were!

[Beechwood EDGE @BeechwoodEDGE]

Never heard of #FibonacciDay?
Let our fabulous @beechwood_tiger math teacher, Nicole Giesbers, explain the significance of 1️⃣/1️⃣/2️⃣3️⃣!

[C.J. Fryer @cjfryer]

More important than any results or awards, Ms. Giesbers and I are bursting with pride in these amazing mathematicians. They gave up a Saturday morning (and many after-school hours of practice) to engage with some SUPER challenging math problems! Way to represent @BeechwoodMAT! 🤓
