Students in 4th through 12th grade put their “mathletic” skills to the test during the annual Marshall County Math Field Day competition held on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Wheeling University.
Approximately 150 students competed in categories ranging from mental math, mental estimation, measurement estimation and short answer. Participants also took a written test.
Marshall County Math Filed Day was established to promote increased student participation in classroom and extracurricular mathematics. One of the primary objectives of the event is to demonstrate mathematics is a challenging, yet exciting, subject to study.
Students who placed 1st through 4th in each division were presented with certificates and medals during a special awards ceremony Tuesday evening at the BOE meeting held at John Marshall High School. The winners who attended the BOE meeting are pictured below.
