Mrs. Shah's Math Class

All students will take part in the sprint, target, and the team round.  
Unfortunately, if you fall short of students to make a team, we will not be able to merge teams this
year. We would, however, like every student to participate in all three written rounds. 

Top ten students from all participants will be invited to the CountDown Round. 

After-school math programs may not enter the contest as a separate school. These students must enter
under their own middle school. If the students' middle school is not registered in the
contest, the after-school program may register the students (under their respective school), and act
as their sponsor through providing the requested volunteers. However, all team results will be
treated as if the students are competing for their own, respective schools.

Trophies will be awarded at each grade level to the top fifteen individuals, top five teams, and
top two individuals in the Count Down round.

Students should bring their own snacks, water, pencils, and calculators. We will provide lunch
for contestants, proctors, graders, data entry people, and lunch supervisors. Anyone with food
allergies should bring their own food.

Due to the scale of this event we request that each school bring a proctor, up to two graders, a
data entry person, and a lunch supervisor. Graders, data entry people, and lunch supervisors
require no previous experience. Proctors will need to follow the directions on the test. There
will be an orientation for proctors, data entry people, and graders at the contest.

This year we are able to accommodate up to 160 students per grade level. Registration is $8
per student. The registration deadline is December 21, 2008.


We have a limited number of scholarships available. Coaches, please let me know the number of
scholarships needed as soon as possible.


Looking forward to seeing you all on January 9th!
