Announcing Our First Practice!
Upstate New York Math Team community,
Firstly, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Matthew Goehrig, a Buffalo based math teacher and coach. Since 2013, I’ve worked at the SUNY at Buffalo Gifted Math Program where I wrote and developed the college level portion of our first year course, and for the past three years have served as the coach of most of the local middle school math teams, organized through the UB Competes program. I also teach seventh grade mathematics full time at Tapestry Charter School in Buffalo.
I first got involved with the Upstate New York Math Team when I responded to Japheth Wood’s call for interested and dedicated coaches when he launched this very newsletter back in 2019, and I helped coach and proctor our ARML teams last year. I will be taking on many of the administrative tasks of the Upstate New York Math Team this year. Don’t worry though, Japheth is still here and the we have the same wonder team problem squad consisting of Matthew Babbitt, Brendan Caseria, and Tina Giorgadze.
It is with great excitement that I announce the date of our first online practice session: Thursday, March 25th at 7:00pm! This is part of our renewed efforts to organize and train teams of students in Upstate New York to participate in mathematics contests in and out of New York State. Moving forward, we are planning monthly online practice sessions, led by our problem squad.
The practice sessions will be conducted on the Discord platform (https://discord.com/). Discord makes it possible for our problem squad to livestream the practice sessions to small groups of students, and to have a conversation over audio channels. We are also planning to use our Discord server as a base for our growing community of students to connect with each other, and to share and discuss all things mathematical.
Please note: To abide by the Discord Terms of Service (https://discord.com/terms), membership on the server is restricted to those 13 years old and older, and in all cases will require parental consent. If you are under 13 years of age, we can invite your parent or guardian to the server instead.
If you’re interested in joining our Discord server and participating in our coaching sessions, please complete the Google Form below.
Sincerely,
Matt
