JMS students sweep math competition
OAK RIDGE, Tenn. —
The future Einsteins and Newtons of the world could one day look back on their grade school education and fondly credit an East Tennessee-based math competition with encouraging their success. The idea that a little friendly competition among classmates might inspire more students to pursue careers in science, mathematics, engineering and technology (STEM) fields is exactly what organizers of the Tennessee Middle School Math Bowl are aiming to achieve.
