MathCounts
On Saturday, February 16, 2019 the Blair Otte Middle School MathCounts team attended the MathCounts Regional Competition in Omaha, NE.
There were approximately 25 teams and about
 175 total students competing in this event.

The team competition consists of three different types of questioning:
1. A “Sprint” round consisting of 30 questions that each member does independently given a 40-minute time period. 
2. A “Target” round which consists of 4 sets of 2-questions each that are timed for six minutes for each 2-question set. 
3. A “Team” round where the 4 member team works cooperatively for 20 minutes to answer 10 questions.

This year, the Blair team consisting of Landen, Ruby, Spencer, and Whitney received 5^th place overall in the team competition.
In the top 25% individually -
Spencer received 16^th place and Landon received 30^th place.
Other Blair students competing in this event were:
Austin, Daniel, and Martha.

The OMS MathCounts group is coached by: Donna Callaghan and Annette Ott.
