Seven students qualified to move on to higher level competition; six sixth-graders and one eighth-grader.

Aiden Goldberg from the Hebrew Academy placed third overall.

Goldberg and five others will compete in the MATHLEAGUE competition. 

Eight grader, Ben, will show his stuff in the MATHCOUNTS competition.
