The National Math Honor Society is getting ready to have an eventful year. 

Throughout the year, the NMHS competes in competitions and hosts math-related activities. NMHS is a club where students learn math and help others learn math. 

“Our goals this year are to get more involved in helping with math throughout our school, to look into competing in math competitions online as well as within our state, learn more about math, host our annual April math month question of the day, and host Pi day activities,” math teacher and advisor Mr. Ruzbarsky said. 

The NMHS competes in a few competitions throughout the school year. 

“The National Math Honor Society is looking to compete in a few competitions this year,” senior president Diya Daruka said. “One is the Log 1 competition which is what our society sponsors every year, and we are also looking to possibly compete in the Rocket City Math League and the Mathematical Minutes Video Contest.”

Every school year the NMHS hosts Pi day activities. Last year they weren’t able to because of COVID. 

“We weren’t able to do Pi day last year so I’m not too sure but I know that in the past NMHS has done a pie eating contest, guessing how many M&Ms are in a jar, memorizing pi, and pinning the radius on the circle,” senior treasurer Nihitha Kothapalli said.

The NMHS hosts April Math Month question of the day. Winners are entered for the prize and later the winner is announced. 

“During the April Math Month question of the day, members of the National Math Honor Society submit different questions covering varying math skills and subjects,” senior vice president Lauren Davis said. “Last year, we put them on the news and students would submit their answers.”

Students can join the National Math Honor Society by emailing Mr. Ruzbarsky. There is an application process they have to go through and some requirements they have to meet.

Applications are being accepted until October 29th. Meetings are on the last Tuesday of every month.
