ROCKY RIVER, Ohio – Rocky River
High School and Rocky River Middle School students in Honors Geometry competed
in the 3rd Annual Honors Geometry Math Tournament on Tuesday
afternoon in the RRMS Media Center.
Students were broken up into teams of four
with a majority of teams consisting of two students from RRMS and two students
from RRHS on each team. Close to 60 students participated in the event where
teams solved 31 challenging math problems selected from the ACT, Air and Ohio
Council of Teachers Mathematics tests.
In order to solve the problems, students
applied Geometry concepts with their teammates.
The tournament was once again organized by
math teachers Joanne Ritschel and Brittany Morris and is used to help students
gain exposure and a better understanding to develop skills in solving problems
they will see on tests in the future.
The first place team consisted of RRMS
students Gianna Miller and Olivia Fietkiewicz and RRHS students Sarah Saad and
Charlie Movius.
Two teams tied for
second place. Students from RRHS on the runner-up teams were Nathan Budge, Adam
Cain and Maggie Sweeney, while Alice Situ, Diba Vazirian, Gigi Konrad, Sabrina
Bucaro and Meghan Durkin represented RRMS.
