Practice sessions for the Indiana M.A.T.H. Bowl Competition (Math Academic
Teams for Hoosiers) will begin on November 6th. Up to 20 students in grades
4,5, and 6 may compete. The practice sessions will prepare students for the
competition that will take place in March (date and time TBA). We will work
together on math content (which is based on the Indiana Academic Standards
for Mathematics). In the 2008-2009 competition, the standards that will be
utilized include: number sense, computation, algebra and functions, and
problem solving. The students will also practice the format of the
competition. The competition consists of four rounds with each round
consisting of seven multiple-choice questions which will be read to the
students and projected on the screen simultaneously. After consulting with
the other team members at the table, the team captain will answer each
question by circling the chosen response on the answer sheet. At the
conclusion of the allotted time, (30 to 60 seconds) the proctor will grade
each response before the next question is read.
Students MUST attend the practice sessions in order to compete in the
competition.
