I am excited to announce the Upper School Mathematics Students of the Trimester –\u00a0Spring 2019!<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Each math faculty member was free to choose whichever student of theirs they thought best exemplified what they are looking for in a model mathematics student. The official description of the award is as follows:<\/p>\n

“Awarded to students who exemplify the math department\u2019s core values of competence, confidence, and perseverance while helping their peers realize the relevance and importance of an\u00a0exceptional mathematical education both for its beauty and for its practical application.”<\/em><\/p>\n

The following students have been recognized as the Upper School Mathematics Students of the Trimester for\u00a0Spring 2019.<\/p>\n

Please join me in congratulating these outstanding mathematics students!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
\"\"Jason Albanese<\/strong> –\u00a0Jason pushed through some significant challenges this year and ended up not missing a beat on his progression through the class. His deeply humble and genuinely cheerful nature, as well as his deep sense of empathy, make him into a group work driver. He has fun with challenges and adores ushering his peers through complex topics. Even as we faced harder material in the land of Integrals, Jason kept on leaning in, repeatedly proving he is a creative and talented problem solver.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Katherine Borden<\/strong> –\u00a0Katie has been a very steady and diligent math student all year long. She comes to class always ready to work and to contribute her thoughts and ideas. She learns new material quickly and is able to retain old concepts well. In class, she helps other students understand the concepts better by volunteering to lend her insights into the material.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Caroline\u00a0DiFiore<\/strong> –\u00a0Caroline worked hard right through the final project. She was determined to do her best work – getting extra help from me, friends, other teachers, and the math resource center.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Lily Harris<\/strong> –\u00a0Lily showed initiative, enthusiasm, and drive during her work in AP CSP. Her progress in our final unit on Python was especially impressive! She brings a natural curiosity and interest in programming that will drive her success as she continues to pursue it.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Molly\u00a0Kinstle<\/strong> –\u00a0Molly sailed through this course and assembled the many pieces of Java classes and their interaction with ease. She was always engaged and participated thoughtfully at every point. Her understanding of how the topics covered in this course will serve as a solid foundation in future classes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Jerry\u00a0Landman<\/strong> –\u00a0Jerry brought a high level of insight into each class. Whether it was asking a question or volunteering an answer, Jerry challenged his classmates to think about the material at a deeper level.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Na Kyung Lee<\/strong> –\u00a0Na consistently distinguished herself among the top students in terms of understanding of the material of precalculus. Not only did she perform outstandingly on assessments, but her ability to work collaboratively with other students became more refined as the year has progressed. I am fully confident that Na will take the foundation she has built this year to reach new heights in any mathematical endeavor she will face in the next academic year. For the reasons stated above I am honored to nominate Na as my math student of the trimester for Spring 2019.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Keyu Lu<\/strong> –\u00a0Keyu is obviously exceptionally talented in mathematics, but she always supplements that natural ability with incredible diligence and perseverance. I so enjoyed working with her one-on-one this year.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Tucker\u00a0Motyka<\/strong> –\u00a0Tucker completed a wonderful third trimester with a strong T3 assessment and an outstanding circles test in Geometry. Tucker thrived on the most difficult work of the year by tying previously learned concepts with challenging new material. His work was organized and he was able to articulate how to attack a multifaceted problem during class discussions. He demonstrated poise, confidence and comprehension throughout the trimester as a class leader in discussions and in his written work. Congratulations, Tucker!<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Noe\u00a0Perry-Greene<\/strong> –\u00a0Noe contributes in so many ways to our geometry discussions. She shows organized work from which she insightfully explains her problem solving method. She is comfortable taking feedback about her approaches and is able to allow organic discussions to take place. She additionally is able to evaluate the methods her peers use and she works towards efficient methods. Finally, Noe is able to mix fun into the classroom that does not detract from the learning process.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Connor\u00a0Touhey<\/strong> –\u00a0Connor was an excellent student and classmate throughout the year. His performance on assessments was always strong and he was diligent in homework every night. Connor was thoroughly engaged in class, always paying full attention and processing new material carefully.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\"\"Abby\u00a0Vassallo<\/strong> –\u00a0Abby is an incredibly hard worker. She puts in so much effort in and out of the classroom, which leads to her success. She is the epitome of hard work pays off.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
