Math Medley

This general math knowledge test will be comprised of all 4 major mathematical areas: basic logic and reasoning, arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Students’ results will count both towards their individual score as well as to- wards their team score.

Individual Subject Exams

Arithmetic

Individuals taking the arithmetic exam will be asked questions related to the four arithmetic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division). These problems will test students on both speed and accuracy.  Students taking this exam should be comfortable working with decimals and fractions and have a basic understanding of the order of operations.

Algebra

Individuals taking the algebra exam will focus on solving various one variable equations presented both in algebraic symbols and in word problem format. Students should be comfortable manipulating equations and translating problems from words into mathematical symbols.

Geometry

Individuals taking the geometry exam will focus on basic relationships between points, lines, angles, and planes.  Students should be familiar with the geometric applications on the xy-coordinate plane as well as be familiar with calculating area of common geometric figures (including its application towards calculating surface area and volume of 3-dimensional figures).

Logic and Reasoning

Individuals taking the Logic + Reasoning exam will have various puzzle style problems presented to them.  This exam will incorporate several mathematical disciplines while evaluating a student’s abilities to reason through a problem, employ a variety of problem solving strategies, and solve complex word and visual puzzles using logic.

Team Collaborative Exam

Super Quiz Bowl

Each team of four will work together to solve these larger, more complex questions. Teamwork and communication will be essential for teams to answer the questions in the allotted time.
