Hawai‘i’s First Trig-Star
For the first time, the national Trig-Star Program Contest made its way to Hawai‘i, attracting mathematically skilled students from across the state. This year’s state winner was Chloe Honbo from La Pietra: Hawai‘i School for Girls.
The mathematics competition, sponsored by the National Society of Professional Surveyors, is based on the practical application of trigonometry, connecting high school students with the technical profession of land surveying and mapping.
The participants take a timed exam, during which they must solve four trigonometry problems. The highest score in the fastest time determines a winner, and the top finisher at the state level advances on to take the national exam.(Read more)
