brightest minds took center stage during the 29th annual IPS Math
Competition Awards Ceremony on Wednesday, May 24. Held inside Anderson Auditorium at Arsenal
Technical High School, parents, siblings and other supporters gathered to cheer
on students in Grades 3-12 as they collected their awards.
Of the thousands of students who participate
in the competition each year, many come back again and again because they
simply love math.
“I like playing around with the numbers and having
fun with them,” said Center for Inquiry School 84 fifth-grader Lily Klinzing.
She took second place in the fifth-grade category.
“Math just comes easy for me, so that’s why I
enjoy it,” said Jake Fine, 7th grade grand champion. Jake is also a
student at CFI 84.
Judging by the reactions on some of the
students’ faces, the celebration was a complete surprise.
“It was really, really exciting to get to come
here and be on stage and get an award,” said Lily.
