Bumpus, Berry and

Simmons Math Team

Interested in being on the Math Team?How is Math Team Class different from Advanced Math?

Emphasis is placed on student responsibility for seeking information,
for doing what is necessary to learn the material, and for keeping up with
both long- and short-term assignments.

Units of study are often interrupted by preparation for a contest or competition. Individual tournament preparation is expected from all students.

Students must have knowledge and ability in math, a curiosity about mathematics
, and a willingness to work hard and to commit to the team.

Students need to learn how to find information they seek.
They should be able to look for answers to their own questions,
without always depending on the teachers.

6th Grade Students must already know: Integer,
fraction, and decimal operations Find a fraction of a whole
number Find a percent of a whole number Convert between
fractions and decimals Express simple probabilities Find area
and perimeter of simple shapes Be able to read and
understand word problems

How To Apply

The placement test will be held at Bumpus Middle School on April 27
