2009 Lee Webb Math Field Day
Junior Varsity Math Bowl
Before We Begin:
• Please turn off all cell phones while
Math Bowl is in progress.
• The students participating in Rounds 1
& 2 will act as checkers for one another,
as will the students participating in
Rounds 3 & 4.
• There is to be no talking among the
students on stage once the round has
begun.
• Answers that are turned in by the checkers
are examined at the scorekeepers’ table.
An answer that is incorrect or in
unacceptable form will be subject to a
penalty. Points will be deducted from the
team score according to how many points
would have been received if the answer
were correct (5 points will be deducted for
an incorrect first place answer, 3 for
second, etc.).
• Correct solutions not placed in the given
answer space are not correct answers!
• Rationalize all denominators.
• Reduce all fractions, unless the question
says otherwise. Do not leave fractions as
complex fractions.
