Last Monday I took 10 6th grade students to a Math Masters Competition in Barron, WI. While the competition was open to anyone, the 10 students were selected based on their scores on preliminary tests. They met a few times prior to prepare for the competition. The students participated in individual basic facts and problem solving rounds. They worked together as a team during the team problem solving portion. It was really fun to see students excited about math and excited for a challenge. Overall, the students did really well. One of our teams took first, 4 placed in basic facts, and two placed in the individual problem solving portion. All students received a t-shirt for participating. They were excited to be a part of something positive and to do so well. They also enjoyed lunch at McDonalds. It was a good day!
