The LMMS Mathbusters are mathletes who meet on a weekly basis to solve a variety of problems from nonstandard math problems to classic logic puzzles to 3D block puzzles and everything in between. We exercise our brains just for the fun of it and to prepare for a variety of math competitions. Last year, in addition to competing very successfully in the South Forsyth High Math Olympiad and MATHCOUNTS competitions, we hosted and competed in the first annual Forsyth County Pi Fight (a 4th-6th grade math competition). We hope to add more competitions this year. Mathbusters is open to all students in 6-8 grade. Listen for an announcement during the first week of school for the time and place of our first meeting.
