Nervous parents adjusted ties and ponytails in the lobby outside the auditorium at HSA2. Cameramen from NY1 news adjusted their lenses and the audience buzzed as the third grade scholars from the Harlem Success Academies 1, 2, 3 and 4 gathered on Tuesday, December 7th for their second annual Math Bee. In early November each third grade homeroom class held their own math bee and three scholars from each homeroom were selected to represent their class and school in the network math bee and all contestants received a medal for their participation.
At promptly 5:00pm the opening remarks were made and the bee was officially underway! Slowly, third grade contestants made their way to the front of the stage for a practice round where they were given simple questions to acclimate them with the format of the bee. After the practice round, the bee kicked into high gear with scholars being asked to answer questions related to addition and subtraction with and without regroup, multiplication and division. Scholars were given 5 seconds to answer each question. Our scholars fought hard and the competition was fierce! Finally, the field was narrowed and a victor emerged!
Evelyn Knapp (HSA1) emerged victorious! Sean Pena (HSA3) and Brandon Bautista (HSA4) shared second place! Kiss you brains scholars! Job well done! The winners are pictured below with Eva Moskowitz, founder of Success Charter Network.
