Winners of the Math Meet 2003
(April 30, 2003)
The twenty-ninth annual Math Field Day was held at the University of Wisconsin-Superior on April 30, 2003. Nine teams from high schools in Wisconsin and northern Minnesota attended. The Wisconsin schools included Ashland, Drummond, Grantsburg, Hayward, Rice Lake, Superior, Unity, Willow River. The Minnesota school was Barnum.
The competition began with a Team Event, in which the eight-member teams collaborate in solving ten problems within 20 minutes. Schools with 500 or more students compete in the large-school class; the other schools form the small-school class.

The winner in the small school class was Grantsburg, with a score of 67.

The second place team in the small school class was Unity, with a score of 56.

The winner in the large school class was Rice Lake, scoring 78.

The second place team in the large school class was Superior, with a score of 76.

 

The individual events consist of 15 problems to solve within a time limit of 15 minutes. The top finishers in each event received a Math Meet T-shirt; the winners of each event will also receive a $100 U.S. Savings Bond. (No student may receive more than one bond or more than one T-shirt.) The top finishers in each event are (click on the pictures to view them at full size):
