Who we are

The Math Club offers students opportunities to explore their mathematical pursuits outside of the classroom. Students work independently and collaboratively to solve a variety of challenging questions that cross multiple mathematical disciplines. Many students are members of our Math Honor Society, Mu Alpha Theta, as well.

Students compete in a variety of competitions amongst high school students in their school, county, state, country, and world. Wayne Hills has competed strongly in the New Jersey Math League Competition and has been the elite team in Passaic County, winning multiple consecutive County Championships. Students have competed in the AMC 10 and AMC 12 Competitions, showcasing their individual test taking abilities.

Students have found much joy competing in the Arete Math Madness Events, where teams are matched up all over the country in online contests (individual & collaborative) in a tournament bracket format. Students have competed in the 14 hour Mega Moody’s Modeling Competition as a team, to solve real- life issues mathematically and present their results using relevant data/research in a written paper submission.
