The competition within the Packerland Conference High School Math Meets can go a long way in helping students problem-solve beyond the classroom. Sturgeon Bay High School Math Teacher and Coach Cliff Wind says the competitions offer individual problems and those that are handled as a team.
The first four meets this year were and will be at each of the eight individual schools in the conference. The fifth and final meet will be held at Southern Door High School, where all individual honors and awards will be distributed to students. The Sturgeon Bay High School has won 21 consecutive Packerland Conference Championships. Wind credits the entire math program at Sturgeon Bay for its yearly success.
The much more difficult State Math Meet competition will be held in March, according to Wind.
