2026
Our first practice of 2026 will be Math Olympiad #3. The 3 weeks after that are the school MathCounts competition. If you are going to miss any of those days (Jan 7, 14, and 21) and want to participate, let me know as soon as possible.

The schedule for the next 4 weeks is:

Bonus work:
The bonus work for January is the full 2024 Chapter MathCounts competition. It was emailed out on Dec 14 and is on ojhmathteam.org. I gave it to you all at once so you can work on it over winter break, if you choose to. When completing the bonus work, if you get stuck, even after looking at the solution, I recommend hand copying down the full solution. The due dates are in the schedule above. If you get it done early, you can turn it in early.

Dayton Chapter MathCounts, Feb 7:
We can bring 14 OJH students (plus possibly 2 alternates) to Dayton MathCounts at Wright State, Feb 7, from ~8:30am to ~3:30pm.
The competitions we do during practice on 14 and 21 January will be used to determine the first 8 spots on the MathCounts team. The next 6 spots will be determined by bonus work. The last opportunity to turn in bonus work to earn a spot for MathCounts attendance is 21 Jan 2026.

MathCounts Trainer
If anyone goes up 3 or more levels in the MathCounts trainer over break (aops.com/mc), in addition to the usual reward, you can choose a full-size candybar.

As a reminder, this and previous emails are archived at ojhmathteam.org. That page also has links to flashcards with helpful information.

Take care,

Coach Ben
