One Queens educator has figured out how to prioritize fractions over Fortnite.

Teacher Will Collins says that he was able to get kids to ditch the video game controllers by turning the math team at Russell Sage Junior High School in Forest Hills into the hottest competitive squad on campus.

The team started with just 5 timid kids 13 years ago. But now it boasts some 100 players and finished third in the prestigious national MathCon competition in Chicago in April, Williams said.

“In this city, where everyone is going in different directions, this is about people coming together,” he said. “There are no differing agendas. It’s just a group of kids coming together for a common goal.”

Demand for membership on the team has become so fierce that coaches hold tryouts and had to cull down a group of 150 hopefuls.

In addition to twice-weekly after school practices, the team gathers for what has come to be known as “Monday Evening Math Circle.”

The team even has some if its alumni — former members who are already in high school — show up to the gatherings to act as mentors.

“When the older kids walk in the room, they just light up,” Collins said. “This is all volunteer work. No one is getting paid. The grads who come back — it’s only for the sake of their community. I think there is a real beauty in that.”

Collins noted that all eight members of their elite eighth grade squad who compete in specific tournaments earned spots in specialized high schools next year.

As the Sage trophy case began to fill, Collins theorized that his simple formula would likely benefit younger kids in area elementary schools.

With the blessing of his principal and superintendent, current team members now visit PS 174, PS 139, and PS 101 to instill a reverence for learning and community.

Team member Josiah Moltz, 13, who will be attending Stuyvesant HS next year, said the Russell Sage math team is nothing less than a second family.

Asked if he ever indulges in an occasional game of Fortnite with pals, Moltz acted as if he had been quizzed about the existence of the tooth fairy. “No,” he said. “With this team, with this community, you don’t need much else.”
