Math 24 challenge adds up to fast-paced excitement
for UCPS middle school students
An eighth grader from Porter Ridge Middle School, Dylan
Beckham, walked away with the district championship title during
the annual Union County Middle School Math 24 competition held at
Piedmont Middle School on April 5.
Dylan competed with students from nine UCPS middle schools in
four rounds of mental math. Students had to create solutions that
