Solve That Problem

解决那个问题是一个事件为几何,代数II,和开放的学生只。  以下是比赛的基本描述,指导将在比赛当天给出。  Here are examples of Geometry, Algebra II , and Open questions.

  • The facilitator gives  a brief description of the problem.  The students are unable to see the problem at this time.
  • After the description is given the bidding time for completing the problem starts at 2 minutes.
  • Students that believe they can complete the problem within that time raise their hand.  The bidding process continues as students who believe they can complete the problem more quickly, lower the completion time.
  • Once the winning bid is awarded, that student goes up to the overhead.  The problem is then revealed to all the competitors.
  • All competitors work on the problem.  If the winning bidder completes the problem correctly within the bid time, they are awarded maximum points.  All competitors that complete the problem within two minutes are awarded points.

Here is a short video showing the bidding process.
