  23. Statistics, Data Analysis, & Probability Team Test — Each team will answer about 6 questions relating to statistics and probability, then conduct an experiment, predict results, gather data, and analyze the experiment based on their outcomes.

  24. Number Sense Consists of two tests: 1) Estimation (counts for 40% of score) and 2) Mental Math (counts for 60% of score).

  25. Estimation Team Test — Six stations are located around the perimeter of the room. Problems usually involve some sort of measurement: linear, area, volume, weight, liquid volume, metric or standard measurements.

  26. Mental Math Individual Test – Students will be shown 40 different mental math questions. They will have five seconds to study the problem, and five seconds to write the answer. No work is allowed…all answers must be done mentally. Individual scores are added together to form one team score.
