Hi, MSA! It has been about 6 weeks since the Middle School Math League kick-off, and we are off to a great start; we just had our first meet on the 16th of October and it was very successful. At the moment, we have kids from all middle school grades. We have kids from all different math classes and teachers. At the moment, our school has two teams – team A and team B; Team A has all 7th graders, and Team B has all 6th graders. We also have a replacement team if someone isn’t at the meet.
