High
School Mathematics
Tournament
Participation
Participants must be currently in the ninth, tenth, eleventh, or
twelfth grade. Teams, as designated by the school, are
limited to
four students but may have fewer than four members; however, teams of
four students are strongly encouraged. Schools with fewer
than
four participating students may join with another school or schools to
form a student team.
The Tournament
The tournament will consist of the following two parts: an individual
round and a team round. Both rounds will be written, and no calculators
will be allowed.
Individual Round
The individual round will be conducted in the morning
session. It
will include no more than thirty multiple choice questions.
These
problems will cover material from high school courses such as algebra,
trigonometry, and geometry but no calculus. No calculators
will
be allowed.
Team Round
The afternoon’s team
problem-solving round will consist of up to ten problems which can be
discussed as a team. Questions in this round will assume a
similar background as those in the morning session (algebra,
trigonometry, and geometry but no calculus) and will require more
problem-solving skills and creative thinking. Each team will
give
only one set of solutions. The correctness as well as the
clear
presentation of the solutions will be considered in the
scoring.
No calculators will be allowed.
Tiebreakers
In the case two papers
have the
same score, the first team or individual to complete and turn in their
work is the winner.
