Mazal Tov to our Ulpaniada Math Contest Finalists!



We are so pleased to announce that Yael Fishel (Gr. 12) and Aliza Hochsztein (Gr. 11) have made it to the final round of the Ulpaniada Math Contest given through Michlalah Jerusalem College. They have been invited to Israel for four days to take the final test and to tour the country through the college. The winners of that last round will be awarded prizes by the Minister of Education, Mr. Gideon Sa'ar. This is an extremely impressive accomplishment which required not only strong math skills but also complex reasoning skills. To put the magnitude of this achievement in perspective, the competition began in the first round with approximately 2000 girls from Israel, USA, Canada, England, South Africa, France and Australia. There will be around 80 girls in the final of which 18 will be coming from outside of Israel especially for the event. That's the top 4%. Wow! We are so proud of them. Kol Hakavod also goes to our Math Chair, Mrs. Sabrina Bernath, and the entire Math Department for their tireless efforts on behalf of our students.

We made it to the second round of the Ulpaniada Math Competition!!!

Our young women competing in the 1st Round of the
Ulpaniada Math Competition last week.


Great math is happening at Frisch.  For the first time ever, The Frisch School has taken part in Jerusalem College's math contest called the Ulpaniada.  Being offered only for the second year to schools outside of Israel, the Ulpaniada is a womens' only international math contest which tests advanced reasoning and problem solving skills.  Out of the 16 young women who took part in round one, ten qualified to take part in the second round which will take place in Frisch on March 14.  The final round takes place in Jerusalem. Last year, out of 10,000 students, only 20 qualified.  So cheer on your fellow math inclined cougars and let's see if we can make it to Israel for the final round!!!
