The Math Bowl

The second visit of Sr. Connie, who arrived on Sunday, told us that inevitably the Math Bowl was approaching. During Monday math classes we have been revising our math vocabulary to make sure that we are not confusing polygons with proportions and know that the midpoint is exactly in the middle of a segment.
Finally the bell rang for us to grab some chairs and gather on the basketball court. When we were all set up Mr. Staysniak announced the beginning of the First Outdoor Math Bowl.

Campers chosen by their teachers to participate lined up on the side of the court and Sr. Connie started to ask the questions. Unfortunately for each of the participants a single mistake meant "Good Bye" to the tournament. However, after a couple of minutes the line was still quite long... At the end there were two students left on the field of battle: Kenneth and Ed. The fight between a rookie and a veteran was won by the later, as you can see on the picture - much to his surprise...
Congrats Edward!!
