Tanglewood ES Student Clinches FWISD Elementary Math Bee Crown
There could only be one champion, and after 17 “tension-filled” rounds Fort Worth ISD crowned its 2020 Elementary Math Bee winner recently.
A division problem clinched the 2020 title for Yashas Nallabothula, a fourth grader at Tanglewood Elementary School. Diego Andrade, a fifth grader at South Hills Elementary, finished runner up in the competition, hosted Saturday, January 18 at O.D. Wyatt High School.
The second annual FWISD Elementary Math Bee tested students’ math skills in solving number sense problems.
“The Elementary Math Bee was full of tension and cheers,” said Melvinia Robinson, a Math Bee organizer and coordinator for the District’s Elementary Mathematics division. “These students competing are the best and the brightest representing their home campus.”
More than 40 students advanced to the contest after winning math bees on the respective campuses last fall.
This year’s competition was the first time an overall District champion was recognized. It’s a District goal to one day have the overall Math Bee winner compete at the state level.
