APH Abacus Bee Registration Form
We are so excited to be hosting MSB's Inaugural Abacus Bee for Grades 3-8th! 

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.   

 All students who participate will receive t-shirts, prizes and goody bags!  Some may even qualify to attend the National APH Abacus Bee in Louisville, Kentucky in March of 2024!

The Bee will take place on Friday, November 3, 2023 during school hours, with a placement test on Friday, September 29, 2023, also during the school hours so that your child can be placed in the appropriate testing group. Registration is due by Friday, September 22, 2023. For the 2023 APH Abacus Bee season, students who attend Maryland School for the Blind are eligible to participate. Our hope is that the event will be open to  students in the local school systems in 2024. Thank you for your understanding as we learn this new and exciting program! 

We will follow up with your child's Teacher of the Visually Impaired to confirm primary reading medium and math medium. 

Completing this form implies permission to participate in this event. 

Once you register electronically, a paper version of an APH Model Release Form will be sent home. 

Please email Jackie Otwell, Teacher of the Visually Impaired in MSB's Statewide Service Department at jacquelineo@mdschblind.org with any questions.
