(May 11, 2006)

The thirty second annual Math Field Day was held at the University of Wisconsin-Superior on May 11, 2006. Eight teams from high schools in Wisconsin attended. The schools included Ashland, Drummond, Frederic, Grantsburg, Hayward, Rice Lake, Superior, and Webster.

The competition began with a Team Event, in which the eight-member teams collaborate in solving ten problems within 20 minutes. Schools with 500 or more students compete in the large-school class; the other schools form the small-school class. Runner-up in the small school class was Drummond, with a score of 38. The winner in the small school class was Grantsburg, with a score of 46. In the large school class, the runner-up was Hayward, scoring 42, and the winner was Rice Lake, scoring 43.

The winner of the small school class was Grantsburg with a score of 46.

Runner-up in the small school class was Drummond, with a score of 38.

The winner in the large school class was Rice Lake, scoring 43.

The runner-up in the large school class was Hayward, with a score of 42.

The individual events consist of 15 problems to solve within a time limit of 15 minutes. The top finishers in each event received a Math Meet T- shirt; the winners of each event will also receive a $100 U.S. Savings Bond. (No student may receive more than one bond or more than one T- shirt.) The top finishers in each event are:

Event III - Algebra II and Analytical Geometry:

Event IV - Trigonometric and Elementary Functions:

Event V - Probability and Statistics:
