Saint Barbara Catholic School has been performing well in the Catholic Math League/Math Bee Competition
What It Is: Students at Saint Barbara Catholic School in grades 5 through 8 have been entered into a national math competition (Catholic Math League) this year. This competition began in 1997 as a division of Educontest and in 2009, was renamed Catholic Math League. This school year, it is being used in determining the math bee contest winners for the fifth through eighth grade classes.
All students take a total of 4 tests, each with 20 questions that must be answered within 30 minutes without using a calculator. For school scores, the 3 highest scores from each test is used to determine the team (school) score for that test.
To date, 3 of the 4 tests have been taken and the results are as follows:
