Wabash County Junior High Mathematics Contest

March 25, 2008

 

Contest Description

The Mathematics and Computer Science Department recently sponsored its 15th annual mathematics contest for 7th and 8th graders attending Manchester Junior High, Northfield Junior High, Southwood Junior High and Wabash Middle School.

Eighty students competed for individual as well as team awards.  The individual competition consisted of a written exam of 30 questions and a flash round where students were presented 15 questions in sequence with a limited amount of time to respond to each.  Top finishers in each grade received ribbons (4th-10th place), trophies (2nd & 3rd) and a TI graphing calculator (1st).  Teams consisted of one student from each of the four schools working together on a set of 15 more challenging questions, with the top five of 20 teams receiving ribbons.
