Geometry Bee

What is the Amador Valley Geometry Bee?

The Amador Valley Geometry Bee is an annual event taking place in May. The qualifier event, which happens in late April or early May, is open to all 6th to 9th grade students in Pleasanton who are currently taking or have previously taken Geometry. The top scorers from the qualifier round are invited to a live invitational, where the students advance through multiple rounds of challenging geometry problems in a chance to win the title of Amador Valley Geometry Bee Champion. Contestants at the annual Amador Valley Geometry Bee usually represent both of Pleasanton's high schools and all three of Pleasanton's middle schools.

The Geometry Bee was established to recognize and award developing math talent among the middle schools and freshmen class, and to encourage qualified math students in continuing to pursue competitive and recreational mathematics throughout high school.
