2011 Indiana State Math Contest
Date: April 30, 2011Dear Mathematics Teacher and Coordinators:
The Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics is pleased to inform you that the 2011 Indiana State Mathematics Contest will be held at 9:30 am on Saturday, April 30, 2011 at the sites listed below. Registration will begin online after January 1, 2011
This annual contest is sponsored by the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) and governed by policies approved by ICTM. This contest has been approved by the Division of School Activities, Indiana Association of School Principals. For more information or to be added to the mailing list, please contact a local site coordinator. We hope that you will encourage your students to participate in the 2011 contest.
Categories, Format and Content
There are five mathematics problem-solving tests. Each contains 28 to 40 multiple-choice questions; 90 minutes are allowed for students to work with the test. The categories are: Pre-Algebra, Algebra First Course/Integrated Math I, Geometry/Integrated Math II, Algebra Second Course/Integrated Math III, and Comprehensive. Questions for the first four categories may be related to the content identified in the Indiana Mathematics Proficiency Guide, the Core 40 Math competencies in the obvious ways, or included in State-approved textbooks. The content of the Comprehensive category is drawn from pre-calculus mathematics including trigonometry, finite mathematics, simple linear algebra, probability, statistics, and analytic geometry.
Participants
The contest is open to any Middle School, Junior High School or Senior School student in the State of Indiana. Participation on the part of any interested student is encouraged; there is no limit to the number of participants from any school. A participant may take only one test each year.
• Participants in the Pre-Algebra category are limited to Middle School and Junior High School students who have not yet enrolled in Algebra or an integrated high school mathematics course;
• Students who are enrolled in either an Algebra First Course or Integrated Mathematics first course will register for the Algebra I/Integrated Math I test;
• Students enrolled in Geometry or Integrated Mathematics II will register for the Geometry/Integrated Math II test; and,
• Students enrolled in either Algebra Second Course or Integrated Mathematics III will register for the Algebra II/Integrated Math III test.
Students can participate only one time in each of the Algebra I First Course/Integrated Math I, Geometry/Integrated Math II, or Algebra II/Integrated Math III categories. Students can participate in the Pre-Algebra and Comprehensive categories more than once.
Registration, Certification and Fees
There is a non-refundable $4.00 participant fee for each student. Participants must be registered by their school, and the school must certify that the participants are currently enrolled in courses appropriate for the category. No special certification is required for the Comprehensive category.
Please complete the online form that will be posted after January 1, 2011 and then mail the fees to the appropriate local site coordinator where your students plan to attend the contest by April 9, 2011. CHECKS SHOULD BE MADE PAYABLE TO ICTM. Your registration is not complete until all fees have been received by the appropriate local site coordinator.
