About

Welcome! We are the Staples Math Team, a group of students competing in the Fairfield County Math League (FCML)!

Our current captains are Tom Zhang ‘23, Ben Saxon ‘23, and Nikhil Kanthan ‘23.

How big is the commitment?

We understand that things get busy in high school, but we have semi-weekly meetings where we do most of our practice.

Is there a minimum experience level required to join?

Nope, you are welcome as long as you are interested!

When and where is the weekly club meeting?

We meet in-person on Tuesday and Thursday, in Room 3063 from 2:45 to 3:30.

Members are not required to come to every meeting. Feel free to drop in anytime!

Which topics/skills are involved?

Every high school math topic before calculus!

For example, geometry, algebra, probability, and many more…

What kind of events will we attend?

Once a month in the range [Oct, Mar] we will compete after school either at Fairfield Prep or at Staples!

If we do well, we can qualify for states and nationals.

Prior to that, students can learn the strategies required in competition from personally-curated resources.

What if I’m not good at math?

Our entire goal is to improve and challenge ourselves, so as long as you try your best, that’s enough!
