On the morning of September 24th, the 9th graders gathered in the ZhenTao Building’s new B1 lecture hall for their weekly assembly. The assemblies for 9th graders usually announce important information and feature a presentation from one of the 9th grade students on a topic of their own choice.

The presenter for week 4 was Max Liu. The topic was about an awesome math summer camp that he and some of his friends went to during the summer holiday. The presentation started with his hobbies, one of them being competitive math. He then introduced the different math competitions, why he believed that everyone should love math and that math is something more than fulfilling their GPA requirements.

After that, he went into the topic—the awesome math summer camp. He introduced how the summer camp works: 6 hours of math a day and weekly assessments. Then he introduced the subjects that would be studied in the summer camp. Lastly, he showed a few math questions that would appear in the awesome math summer camp entrance tests and weekly assessments for anyone that was interested in the camp.
