SPECIAL TO THE CHRONICLE
Three students from area elementary schools took
honors in the fourth annual regional Elementary
Mathematics Invitational (EMI) hosted by the Winston
Salem State University Center for Mathematics, Science
and Technology Education and the WSSU Department of
Mathematics as part of the North Carolina Science
Festival.
Eva Murea, a fourth-grader at Branson Elementary
School in Winston-Salem, took first place in the competi
tion. Ghazal Mirzazadeh, a fifth-grader also at Branson,
came in second and Cintong He, a fourth-grader from The
Academy at Lincoln in Greensboro, was third.
The EMI is designed to stimulate interest in mathemat
ics and provide recognition for outstanding elementary
mathematics students.
In addition to the competition for fourth- and fifth
graders, there was a family math session for the parents of
contest participants to provide them with math activities to
use at home.
Dr. Vincent Snipes and Dr. Pamela Moses-Snipes of

In addition to the competition, experts in the fields of
science and mathematics spoke about their careers, the

connections to everyone's daily lives.
