Hear that silence?
The sound of math instruction that reaches every student
Hear that silence?
That’s the sound of seventy Middle Schoolers doing math quietly at the end of the day
Not for credit, not for a grade
Doing their best just for the fun of it
Sixth, seventh and eighth grade students took the MathCounts exam today
The top ten finishers will become Gordon’s competitive team
And head to the statewide championship in March
Gordon has placed in the top three for nine out of the past ten years
And sent half a dozen competitors to the nationals
This run began as Gordon made a longterm investment in math instruction for every learner
A move that led to success for all Gordon math students - not just the top test takers
