The Super Star – Gold and Silver Divisions Students will take an individual written test of 47 standards-based multiple choice questions and 3 constructed response questions. Student answers will be marked on an answer sheet. These questions mirror the practice questions. The Fantastic Flash – Gold Division Rapid-fire computation is a necessity for this competition. Fifty standards based multiple choice questions are asked two at a time. Students are given 90 seconds to complete two problems on a page and record their answers on a scantron. At the end of this 90 second period students will be instructed to turn the page, answer two new questions, and record their answers. This process will continue until all 50 questions have been answered. Students are not to turn pages back or forward, but work only on the problems on their current page. Any student who does not remain on the proper page will be warned once and then disqualified. All work is to be completed on the test (NO SCRATCH PAPER). These questions mirror the practice questions.

Math Bowl 2014 \ Forms & Contest Rules Page 3 of 6

Team Round – Gold and Silver Divisions The team round consists of teams of 4 students. Each team is given twenty standards-based questions. Each team turns in one common answer sheet and may work on the problems as they see fit. In other words, they may work on the questions together, in pairs or individually. This contest is NOT multiple-choice. These questions mirror the practice questions. Dynamic Duo – Gold and Silver Divisions Two students work together on 47 standards-based multiple choice questions and 3 constructed response questions. Each student must work separately for the first half of the contest, with no talking allowed. During the second half, students may talk, check each other’s work, and complete the remainder of the test together. Student answers will be marked on an answer sheet. These questions mirror the practice questions. Power Relay – Gold Division The power relay consists of teams of 5 students competing in 16 different rounds (pages) consisting of multiple choice and constructed response questions. Each round contains 5 questions that may only be attempted once by any student. The 5-member team lines up in front of their designated desk with a button numbered 1 to 5 pinned to their shirts (buttons will be provided by the District). Each student will in turn run to the desk and answer his/her specific question. The student with button 1 always answers the 1st question on the page, the student with button 2 answers the 2nd question, and so on. All questions are standards-based and multiple choice. These questions mirror the practice questions. Traditional Relay – Gold and Silver Divisions Each school’s relay team consists of 4 students. The students must have participated in one of the earlier contests. The relay contains 4 standards-based problems. On a signal, the first team member will run a short distance to a desk. The student will sit down, solve a problem, write the answer on an answer card taped to the desk, run back to the starting line, and tag the second team member. The second team member then runs to the desk and solves his/her problem. The third and fourth team members follow the same procedure. If any problem(s) are incorrect, the judges will do nothing and each student must return in order to correct or leave his or her answer alone. The judges will not indicate which answers are incorrect. When all 4 questions are correct, the judge at the desk will wave his/her hands. Poster Contest Each team has the option to design and decorate a poster for the Math Bowl. The Poster must include your school name and must show your team’s interpretation of this year’s theme “Get to the Core.” Poster requirements: Posters are to be NO LARGER than a standard size poster (22in x 28 in). Bring your poster with you on the day of the competition. DO NOT send your posters to Chipman Junior High School or to the district office in advance. At the end of the competition, please take your poster back to school with you. Any posters left at Chipman will be disposed of. We will give two awards for posters. The first award will be for the poster that is the most creative. The second award will be for the poster that best represents the theme.
