Math
Recently I've become very interested in the field of Mathematics. I will participate in several math competitions this year including the AMC 8, and AMC 10 as well as the MATHCOUNTS local competition for schools.
What math do you do in school (and what grade are you in)?
Do you participate in any competitions?
I've taken a long hiatus, but I still visit sometimes. Give me some time to answer any messages you post on my projects!

Re: Math
I don't do competitions. I have a few pages of trig left, and I'm doing pre-calc, and I'm in 11th grade.
I'm graduating HS this April and going to college in the Fall.

No, but I did the spelling and geography bee last year. 
Actually, anyone that doesn't fall asleep in my pre-alg class is instantaneously flagged down as...

What kind of Algebra 2 does your school offer? I've heard the term tossed around a lot, and it means different things in different contexts.

Re: Math
AMC-10? Wow, you must be good. I did that last year and I got the highest score at my high school, but of course I am in 10th grade 
.</bragging> I think I got a pin for it but I can't find it...
Oh and I did Mathcounts/Math team for a while but I owe the coach $15 for the t-shirt so I'm avoiding him at all costs this year.

Re: Math
I'm in sixth grade, and I'm taking pre-algebra
I really dislike math, so I'm not doing any clubs for it this year. But I was on my elementary school's math team (Which I disliked also)

I don't know exactly what new stuff we're going to be getting into, because all we've done so far are review things and proofs. Right now we're doing Linear Models.

I remember disliking pre-algebra a lot, but being in my school's math club helped make up for the class.

Re: Math
I'll just say that I am in the honors class for 2 grades ahead of me, which is pretty much 3 grades advanced in math... I also got 24/25 total on my 5th grade Math Olympiad team (IDK if anyone's heard of it...). I woulda won the bronze medallion if I had gotten the easiest problem on the last test RIGHT: Addition

Quite impressive! What math are you currently taking now? Have you competed in any competitions recently?

I got a bronze medal out of that. 
Except I didn't score that good. Maybe I got a 20-21 or something, I don't remember.
