Official Rules

On-Line Registration available https://www.boscotech.edu/math-competition-online-application

Don Bosco Technical Institute (Bosco Tech) Math Competition is an annual contest for boys and girls ingrades 5-8. The goal of the competition is to encourage students' interest in math, develop their problem solving skills, and to inspire them to excel in math.

During the contest, students are given 60 minutes to solve 50 questions for Level 2 (grades 7-8) and 30 questions for Level 1 (grades 5-6). Many problems are designed to challenge students and to enrich their problem solving experiences. The questions are multiple-choice and answers are recorded on a machine scored sheet (Scantron). No calculators or electronic devices can be used or present while the test is being administered. Use of any type of device, outside of the ma-terials provided by the Bosco Tech Mathematics Department during the competition is auto-matic grounds for disqualification and removal from the testing area. Each participant must complete the test as an individual. Any participants sharing answers, passing notes, or talk-ing during the test will be disqualified and removed from the testing area. The problems are written by the faculty of the Bosco Tech Mathematics Department using past competition questions as a basis for new problems and the California Standards.

All participants must check-in before 8:45a.m. No late arrivals will be accepted, no excep-tions. If paperwork is not complete or payment has not been received, the student(s) may not participate. Once a participant enters the testing area, he or she may not leave the test-ing area for any reason. Please use the restroom before the test, participant will not be allowed to use the restroom once the test is in progress. If a participant finishes the test before the 60 minutes, he or she must sit quietly in his or her seat until the completion of the testing time.

First, second and third place will be awarded to both individuals and teams in two grade levels (5-6 and 7-8) and in two divisions (large and small school). School size was determined as part of regis-tration for the competition, with “large” schools having 150 students or more in grades 5-8. Individual winners are determined by most correct answers, first, and fastest time, second. There is no partial credit or penalty for wrong answers. If two answers sheets have the same score and their completion time is within two minutes of each other, they will be considered a ‘tie’ (this is due to possible delays in collecting completed tests). A tie will be broken by those competitors completing a tie-breaker quiz that will be hand-scored.

A school can create a team with a minimum of four or more participants from the same school and level. The top four scores from a team will be added together to form the team score. A school may only field one team per level. In the event of a tie, the team with the highest individual score will win the tie. If the individuals with the highest scores have the same high score, then the second highest score from each team will be used as the tie-breaker. The determination of winners by the competi-tion judges is final. Thank you for participating and we hope that this competition will spark and en-lighten your students’ interest in science, technology, engineering, and math. We wish you the best of luck and have fun!

Best Regards, Bosco Tech
