Math Bee for

secondary level
The Math Bee is an event for mathematics enthusiasts or
students. Similar to a spelling bee, but students try and solve
math problems instead of spelling a word.

Introduction:
 Facilitator posts the first problem of Round One on
overhead/document camera.
 Set timer for 2 minutes. Students work problem on their own, put
pencils down when finished. Facilitator has the right to be
creative with the actual time allowed for each problem but
without going over the two-minute time limit. If all students
finish early, the facilitator can call time early.
 When timer goes off, facilitator calls “Time! Pencils Down!”
 Facilitator then works through the problem on the overhead
projector/document camera, explaining her/his thinking as she/he
proceeds, concluding with a clearly stated solution.
 The college student helpers will then move along the rows of
students to mark the game cards with correct answers using the
special markers.
 Proceed to second problem of Round One and repeat process.
Repeat with third problem of Round One.
 At conclusion of Round One, identify those students who got at
least two problems correct.
  Those students who did not get at least two of three problems
correct will move to the back—their Math Bee participation is
over. The students must leave their game cards at their vacated
seats.

Overview: we will not be talking a about integration bee as everybody

is aware of the famous MIT integration bee. But we will be talking
about the student of the lower grade.

What can we do?

We can make the same competition for the student's favorite topic or
those topics which are more effort fully taught in such levels or
students mostly give priority. For example:

1. Algebra Bee [for grade 7&8]

2. Trigonometry Bee [for grade 9& 10]

3. Integration bee [for grade 11&12]
