Valley City State University Department of Mathematics recently hosted the 1st Annual VCSU Math Competition for students in grades 7-12 on Wednesday, April 17.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Teams came from 41 school districts around the state including Mandan, Larimore, Kindred, Lisbon, Enderlin, Mandaree, Dunseith, Flasher, Oak Grove, Dickinson, Kidder County, Northern Cass, Shanley, and many more. With 330 students in the 7-9 grade division and 214 in the 10-12 division, a total of 544 students were on campus competing in Vangstad Auditorium and Graichen Gym. The winner of the 10-12 division was awarded a $1,000 VCSU Math scholarship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe turnout from the school districts across the state was impressive. Some of them traveled great distances to get here and we\u2019re glad we were able to host them on our campus. We received many compliments from participating students and their teachers. Overall, it was a great day, and we can\u2019t wait to do it again next year,\u201d said Jamie Wirth, Ph.D., professor for mathematics and STEM and event organizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
