We are so excited to be hosting MSB’s Inaugural Abacus Bee!
Mark your calendars because the Bee itself is scheduled for Friday, November 3rd, 2023 and it too will take place during school hours.
The APH Abacus Bee is a regional math competition designed for blind and low vision students using an abacus, mental math, finger math, or counting cubes/manipulatives to compute multiple problems in a designated time frame.
Registration for this event is closed.
