The thirty second annual Math Field Day was held at the University of
Wisconsin-Superior on May 11, 2006. Eight teams from high schools in
Wisconsin attended. The schools included Ashland, Drummond, Frederic,
Grantsburg, Hayward, Rice Lake, Superior, and Webster.

|
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. Runner-up in the small school class was
Drummond, with a score of 38. The winner in the small school class was
Grantsburg, with a score of 46. In the large school class, the runner-up
was Hayward, scoring 42, and the winner was Rice Lake, scoring 43.
The winner in the small school class
was Grantsburg with a score of 46.
Runner-up in the small school class was
Drummond, with a score of 38.
The winner in the large school class

The runner-up in the large school class
was Hayward, with a score of 42.

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:
