Gateway High School Hosts Calculus Bowl

Students from across the metro area are busy preparing for the Calculus Bowl at Gateway High School. Unlike most math competitions, the Gateway Calculus Bowl is much more than a room full of students scratching away on paper with pencils. It is a lively, verbal competition run like the Jeopardy television show.

This fun, fast-paced competitive math event is for high school AP Calculus students. The Calculus Bowl will include 60 teams, with nearly 300 high school students from the metro area competing for the championship title. The competition is open to family, friends and anyone interested in math education.

This is the fourth year that Gateway has hosted the Calculus Bowl, which was originally created in 1992 for calculus students at the university level.  Since then, it has become very popular with high school students.
