2024 National Convention

A familiar OSS Mu Alpha Theta tradition for the summer is going to the National Convention, and our mathy Orcas this 23-24 year competed at Las Vegas! We were proud to have taken 9 dedicated members to the National Convention, with 7 from the Mu Division, 1 from Alpha Division, and 1 from Theta Division. Even against some of the most fiercest competitors in the ocean, our Orcas managed to stay victorious with the Mu Division claiming 4th place overall, 6th in Relay, and 8th in Hustle. The Orcas also did amazing in their respective events as well, throughout the various divisional Topic Tests and Individuals Tests. Again, congratulations to these amazing mathletes and we look forward to a continued amazing future for OSS MAO. The full results are below:

CFMT 2022

Our Orlando Science Mu Alpha Theta Honor Society successfully ran the annual Central Florida Math Tournament (CFMT) for 4th and 5th graders, with a very successful competitor turnout. The competition consisted of a 50 minute sprint round followed by a 30 minute problem solving round. In the sprint round, 5 points were awarded for correct responses, 1 for blank responses, and 0 for incorrect responses. In the problem solving round, 10 points were awarded for each correct response.

Winners were determined by adding up the scores from both rounds. The champions of each division received Apple iPads, the first runner-ups received Fire HD 10 tablets, and the second runner-ups received Fire HD 8 tablets. The top 3 places for each division received trophies and places 4 - 20 of each division received achievement medals.

Congratulations to all, and a special thank you to Mr. Akyalcin, Mr. Cooper, and the members who assisted both at the competition and in writing the tests.
