On Oct. 29, approximately 600 high school students from across northern Minnesota will descend on Bemidji State University’s Gillett Recreation-Fitness Center for the 41st Annual Northern Minnesota Math Contest.<\/p>\n
Registration begins at 10 a.m. in the center’s Hall of Fame lobby, and activities for students begin at 10:15 a.m. The one-hour test begins at 11:30 a.m., and the afternoon features open time for students and advisors.<\/p>\n
The contest is divided into two mathematics tests: a lower-division test primarily open to freshmen and sophomores consisting of arithmetic, elementary algebra and geometry; and an upper division designed for juniors and seniors covering higher algebra, geometry and trigonometry. Each test consists of 40 multiple-choice questions, and many of the test problems utilize general problem-solving skills rather than rote memorization and application of formulae. Students may enter a division above his or her grade level, but not below.<\/p>\n
Participating schools will compete in class A or AA, according to Minnesota High School League classification, for team awards. Team awards will be given to the top four teams in Class A and the top two places in Class AA in each division. Team finishes in a respective division and class are determined by a sum of the scores of a school’s three highest-scoring individuals.<\/p>\n
Awards will also be given to individuals with the 10 highest scores in each division without regard to class, and the top three individuals on each team will receive a Northern Minnesota Mathematics Contest t-shirt.<\/p>\n
