About Math League 2023-2024 

The 2023-24 school year is the forty-seventh year of operation for the Delaware Secondary School Mathematics League.  The Delaware Math League was founded in 1976 by Dr. William J. Geppert, Jr., former State Mathematics Supervisor in the Delaware Department of Education, and the late Dr. Willard E. Baxter, University of Delaware Professor Emeritus of Mathematics.  

Math League is currently sponsored by DCTM – Delaware Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Inc.  The purpose of the Delaware Secondary School Mathematics League is to cultivate an interest in mathematics through team competition.  There are four levels of competition – Grade 7, Grade 8, Grade 9, and Grades 10-12.  Schools are separated into geographic regions for regional competitions.  Upon completion of the four regional meets, the top scoring teams and the top scoring individuals from each region are invited to participate in the Invitational Meets.  Awards are presented to the regional winners and to the Invitational Meet winners at the State Math League Banquets.

Math League Dates for 2023-2024  (updated 3/14/2024)

Good morning coaches, 

 

I wanted to follow up with the concern of having the Invitational in the latter part of March.  After reviewing the calendars once again, we are going to leave the Invitational where it is.  There are several schools that are not in session during the first part of March.  Ironically, the only 3 days in March there is nothing happening is from the 25th to 27th.  We will try to make every effort to work with those students during the Invitational.  So, the dates below are final. 

 

Coaches meeting:  Sept 20th @ MMC  5:30

Meet #1:          Oct 25th 

Meet #2:          Nov 15th

Meet #3:          Dec  14th (change due to BSD being closed)

Meet #4:          Jan 10th (canceled due to weather, using make up date 2/7)

 

Make ups         Feb 7th  and/or  14th 

 

Invitational        Monday, March 25th for 7th grade

Tuesday, March 26th for 7th & 8th grade  (NEW)

Wednesday, March 27th for High School

Thanks for all your hard with year.  Enjoy your summer.

Math League Coaches Meeting Sept 20th  (posted 8/28/23)

Welcome Back Math League Coaches,  

I would like to welcome you all back to another great school year.  Your math league coordinators have met over the summer to prepare for this year’s competitions.  We are excited to get started and see our students excel.  We will kick off our year with our coaches meeting on September 20th at 5:30pm at the Modern Maturity Center in Dover.   During this meeting we will review the rule and procedure changes for this year.  Regions will be making some decisions on locations and roles.  We will be going over how scores will be reported and the new procedure to make sure they are correct.  If you are unable to attend this meeting, please try to make sure someone from your district is present.   

Attached you will find the coaches meeting registration, school registration and the rules and procedures.   There is one major change this year regarding registration.  Coaches will need to fill in the registration form and email it to Vinita and Sarah.  Sarah will then send you confirmation and a bill/invoice for payment.  The confirmation will have directions on paying.  Registration deadline is September 13th..   We know that some schools will still be recruiting, that is why we only need a number of tentative teams.  If your school needs to add teams, we can make that adjustment.  We just need to get an estimate number of schools to begin to set up regions.   

 

Please email us if you are no longer a coach.  Please pass along this email to your math league coaches. 

 

Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.  

 

Thanks 

Chuck Welsh
