Five students from Northern Virginia—Scott Becker (McLean), David Wang (Clifton), William Xu (Arlington), Fred Zhang (Vienna) and Emily Zou (Vienna) competed as part of 22 student U.S. contingents in the first International Math League Tournament held at Stanford University.
They competed with Chinese and Canadian students by qualifying with near-perfect scores on Math League contests administered during the school year. The five-day event, from Aug. 20-25, included individual competition, team competition, lectures from Stanford professors and other activities.
These Northern Virginia students enjoyed success at both the team and individual level. Emily Zou and Scott Becker were part of the 1st place team in the sixth and seventh grade division.
Scott Becker won 1st place as an individual in the sixth grade division.
The Math League offers math contests for grades four to eight, Algebra 1 students, and high school students. Over one million students from the United States and Canada participate in Math League Contests each year and they are expanding to Europe and China next year.
