The Austin High School Mu Alpha Theta chapter hosted their 10th annual Mini-Mathletes competition for elementary schoolers last year on March 24th. The purpose of this contest is to encourage students’ interest in mathematics, so they will be more eager to join the MathCounts competition in middle school and Mu Alpha Theta in high school. In addition, the competition will place students in a competitive math environment—much like that of the contests that middle and high school math students often attend—and give them an opportunity to spend a day at Austin High School with students who cherish math.
