#1 Private School Team at the 2022 Mu Alpha Theta National Math Competition
430 students from 29 schools across the nation met in Washington, DC, to participate in 62 challenging events as part of the 2022 Mu Alpha Theta National Math Competition.
With exceptional representation at the competition, American Heritage Schools, Broward Campus, was able to keep its place as the #1 Private School Math Team in the US and second place overall. The AHS math team scored 6964 points based on their members’ performance in both team and individual categories that cover advanced topics such as analytic geometry, logs and exponents, open probability and combinatorics, and calculus.
All 44 students won at least one trophy. With 26 perfect scores in the very difficult Mystery Test, three 1st place rankings under Team Events, and 31 students ranked in the top 3 of their categories, these mathletes showed up, competed, and excelled. Congratulations, Math Team, on a very successful year!

Mu Alpha Theta is a math honor society. At the national convention, each division represents a different type of math. Mu represents calculus, Alpha represents pre-calculus, and Theta represents algebra/geometry. Each grade level competes in one of these categories. The category is based on what type of math the student takes in school.
The competition consists of a general 60-minute test of 30 multiple-choice questions and three tests related to the specific area of math in which the students are competing. Aside from the main events, students can also choose to participate in smaller competitions such as mental math, speed math, and a presentation poster.
