Author Topic: anyone do math team?  (Read 7016 times)


How does a math competition play out? I was planning on doing more stuff like this.

I go to school in Iowa, so PM me the school if you know it.


pm'd you

this one is basically everyone from the team goes on a computer, opens a website, and the website starts a timer (i think this one's 30 mins?) and you have 10 problems to do. takes your whole team averages scores into a team average compares the two teams averages live and then reports results afterwards.
normally however it'll be live in different "rounds" and they're basically like mini-math tests on one small subject that you pick earlier, ones i do are 3 questions each and 3 rounds a person... then there's team rounds which are like 10 questions in 10 minutes or something and you're allowed to talk as a team and have to come up with answers.

Posted this on another math thread, but whatever. Khan Academy is a great resource and actually made me love math forever.

I don't, I'm not good at math but my school offers a math club too which only consists of really brainy Jewish and Chinese kids.

how are you not perma banned yet?

you made a drama megathread and a topic about Tezuni holding a Mr. Wiggles in drama

jeesh, is it really that hard to evict people like you from here?

as a side note what the forget i never noticed how close i live to you

How close is that?

1 + 1 = the square root of the triangle if the triangle is made by a no. 2 pencil with a semi-dull tip divided by |3|

I've always despised math. It simply isn't my cup of tea. While I still passed my classes I remember a majority of my time was spent wondering when the hell I would ever use this stuff in life, and as of so far, I never have.

Yes. Even if he gets perma'd, he will return with an alt.

What the forget does Tezuni has Mr. Wiggles mean anyway? The thread's so esoteric and surreal.

this is the worst reasoning ever.  When the hell will I use chemistry in my life?  When the hell will I use history?  You don't use it, others do, especially right now when things like computer science are huge.

I'm on my school's math team, in NH
I got the only trophy for math that my school has ever gotten
third highest-scoring sophomore.

How close is that?
according to google maps exactly 1 hour drive

fair enough, i understand that cause i absolutely can't stand my foreign language and history class so i'm dropping them for more maths (lol)

Wtf did you do to that link?

Exactly, I was speaking about myself, not others. Of course I know others use it, but I personally don't. I wasn't saying that as an excuse to not be in that class, but wondering how I myself would ever apply it to my career.
