What We Do
Our Mission
Our mission is to foster a love for mathematics and help members develop their problem-solving abilities. We are dedicated to empowering young mathematicians, encouraging critical thinking, and creating opportunities for students to grow in their mathematical journey. By hosting and participating in math competitions, we aim to inspire confidence in students while building a supportive math community around us.
Our Club Meetings
D.Tech Math Club meets weekly during Flex period on Mondays. During these meetings, members come together to share ideas, collaborate, and learn from one another. Guided by our club mentors, Ms Dy and Mx Atkinson, advanced math teachers at D.Tech, we sharpen our mathematical thinking through team problem-solving. In preparation for math competitions, we practice with past problems, sharing our solutions with teammates. We also plan and prepare for our club events and competitions to deliver the best experience for all participants. Join us to connect, grow, and share the joy of math!
