Crookston Public School students competed in the Tri-College Math contest held at Minnesota State University Moorhead on Tuesday. The exams were written by the Concordia Mathematics Department.
A team consists of eight members, not more than four of whom are in the highest grade level. Each person takes an individual test, and then there is a team exam. The team’s score is calculated by the sum of its team exam score and the individual exam scores of the eight members.
This year, Crookston had students compete at each level. 6-8th grade had a full team of eight. 9-10th grade had a partial team of six members, and 11-12th grade had a partial team of two members.
