2018 Schedule and Meet 1 Topics

What is Math Team?
Meets consist of 2 individual tests where you have 10 minutes to solve 5 problems and one group test where six of you will work for 20 minutes to solve 10 problems. Schools in our conference are Heritage, Friendly Hills, So. St. Paul, St. Thomas Acad. St. Paul Acad. and perhaps one or two others. Scores, both individual and team are cumulative and awards are given out at the end of the last meet. Sample problems can be found on the Jr Hi Math League link on this page.

TRANSPORTATION
Practice lets out at 4:30. There is an activity bus that leaves Heritage at 5:15 and goes to Sibley where students transfer to their neighborhood bus. (Bus 111 is for West St Paul.) Otherwise they can walk or get picked up by a parent at 4:35.
Transportation will be provided to meets and back to Heritage. Parents will ave to pick them up on Oct 29. On Oct 8 and Nov 19 they can catch the Heritage Activity bus and on Jan 14 they can catch the Friendly Hills Activity bus. On Dec 4 they might be able to catch the FH activity bus, but you should have a plan B if they miss that bus.

If you'd like to join the math team, pick up a form in the office or just show up on Monday, Sept 24 and pick up a form there. You can come and check it out without committing to it. Meet schedule is on the bottom half of the form which you keep.
