On May 8, 2013 East-West had its first Mathematics Competition. The Game 24 is a unique mathematics teaching tool that can engage all students from diverse economic and social backgrounds.
There was an overwhelming attendance from parents, students, and staff at this event.
This game shows students that mathematics can be powerful, engaging, and fun.
What’s really special about the game is that instead of the traditional math problem where students have to find the answers, we know the answer is always 24.
This alleviates any the pressure of getting to the “right” answer.
Instead, the focus is on the process, finding patterns, and practicing problem-solving skills.
Four remaining students battle for the championship title
Staff vs Students quick fire
And the winner is Jimmy Matsumoto, 11th grader
Congratulations to Jimmy Matsumoto 11grader, John So 8th grader , Jerry Liu 6th grader , and Jasmine Chen 7th grader
