MathFax Competitions
Posted Wednesday, February 09, 2000
Many of Lindbergh's students in grades 3, 4, and 5, are competing in MathFax this year. MathFax is a nationwide math contest for grades 3-12. To date, the students have taken 3 very difficult tests. The scores are then submitted to MathFax and Lindbergh's top 3 scores are used for our school score. To check out how we are doing, just use the MathFax link. You will need to choose the grade you want to look at, and choose the category marked 1999-2000 Public Math Competition. You will only find school scores. Individual scores are not shown to protect student privacy. An interesting note is that at 4th grade, Lindbergh is leading Talahi School from St. Cloud by 1 point. So we have a real contest going here!!
