Being in Honors Algebra 2 as a 6th grader is unbelievable, but that is exactly what junior Anthony Mui did. Mui is now the Illinois State Champion for Algebra 2 and competed at the ICTM (Illinois Council of Teachers of Mathematics) state, where the best math team students in Illinois compete with one another.
To get himself where he is today, Mui benefited from some teachers around preschool through the third grade who pushed him to this point. Mui has been involved with numbers and math for a long time, and his family has worked with his middle school so that he’s been able to get the math resources that he needs. Additionally, as a 7th grader, Mui learned about West having a math team from one of his teachers which sparked his interest to join-and he did.
