Mental Math (10 minutes) – Students will be presented with 40 problems to be solved by students ‘mentally’. Students may not do any written work and only their final answers may be written. Any erasures or cross-outs will result in the answer being marked wrong. Because of the emphasis on speed and accuracy, students are given only 10 minutes to answer as many of the 40 problems as they can correctly and legibly. Each problem worth 2 points. Maximum individual score on this test is 80.
Individual Challenge (40 minutes) – Students will be presented with 20 problems to solve. The first 8 questions are worth 5 points each, the next 7 questions are of intermediate difficulty and worth 7 points each, and the last 5 questions are harder and worth 10 points each. During this round, participants will be given scratch papers to do any calculation to reach final answers. Maximum individual challenge score is 139 points.
The mental math and individual test scores will be added to determine individual awards for a maximum of 219 points.
