Knowledge Bowl

Knowledge Bowl is a competitive activity in which students respond to timed verbal and written questions.  Questions range from topics such as geography, math, history, science, sports, current events, and others.  Students work in teams of four to answer the oral and written questions. During the second semester there will be an additional competition aspect where our teams will travel to compete against other schools. (students do not need to compete to join Knowledge Bowl, they can still participate)

Math Counts

MathCounts is a national middle school mathematics competition that builds problem-solving skills and fosters achievement through math contests - including a bee-type competition round. Students compete individually and as a team. This year’s regional and state competition dates are still to be determined but historically have been the last Saturday in February and the third or fourth Saturday in March.

Students who would like to participate are encouraged to also join Math Club. There will be an in-school competition to see who qualifies for Hockinson Middle School’s 4-person team.
