Fourth Annual Math Morning in the Life of High School Students

In 1986, the Joint Policy Board for Mathematics began promoting Mathematics Awareness Month during April. Its goal is to increase public understanding of and appreciation for mathematics. In support of Mathematics Awareness Month, Ohio University Zanesville began hosting Math Morning in the Life of High School Students in 2011. The 4th Annual Math Morning in the Life of High School Students will be at Ohio University-Zanesville on Friday, April 11, 2014, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00pm and features a High School Algebra Quiz Contest and a High School Pre-Calculus Quiz Contest. High school math educators are invited to send a team for each of the two contests.

Each participating team should have two students. Each school is allowed a maximum of one team for each contest. The eligibility requirements are as follows:

· High School Algebra Quiz Contest: High school students who have taken (or are taking) Algebra II but have not taken Pre-Calculus are eligible to participate.

· High School Pre-Calculus Quiz Contest: High school students who are seniors and have taken (or are taking) Pre-Calculus are eligible to participate.

· The focus in each of the two contests will be on foundations and no calculator will be required or allowed.

Each participant will be given a certificate of participation and the winning team in each category will receive a certificate and a prize of $200. First runners-up team in each category will receive a $100 award.
