What is PTMS Math League?
Pacific Trails Middle School's Math League is an inclusive group of students, parents, and instructors who love, learn, and explore mathematics. PTMS Math League hopes to attract students from all mathematical backgrounds. We believe that middle school is the perfect time to learn and explore different fields of study such as mathematics.
Unlike many other middle school math leagues, we place special emphasis on character development and community service. Our dedication to our community is reflected in our mission statement.

Why Math?
Math is ubiquitous. It can be found in offices, homes, and even nature. Due to its universality, it is important to have a basic understanding of it. At PTMS Math League, we not only encourage students to develop a basic of understanding of mathematics, but also urge them to become familiar with mathematics. Moreover, we challenge students to think deeply and creatively.
Mathematics is also practical and versatile. It can be used to ensure that one has received the correct amount of change or to model complex trends in the stock market. In a society where finance, business, and engineering are becoming increasingly important, familiarity with mathematics is very attractive to employers. Thus, we believe that mathematical literacy is crucial and beneficial in shaping one's future. Middle school is a great place to start or continue one's study of mathematics.

Ultimately through competition they will grow to be more intelligent, respectful, humble, and strong.
We participate in the following competitions: MOEMS, 7th Grade Contest, HS Contest, MathCounts, and AMC 8.

What does PTMS Math League do?
PTMS Math League gathers weekly to learn about mathematics. Some of our curriculum is based off of accredited mathematics prep books. The rest of it is written and edited by high school students who have had success in middle school competition mathematics. PTMS Math League prepares students for middle school competition mathematics. We participate in several well-known middle school mathematics competitions such as the AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competition) and MATHCOUNTS.
