1. 2009 Lee Webb Math Field Day Junior Varsity Math Bowl

2. Before We Begin: Please turn off all cell phones while Math Bowl is in progress. The students participating in Rounds 1 & 2 will act as checkers for one another, as will the students participating in Rounds 3 & 4. There is to be no talking among the students on stage once the round has begun.

3. Answers that are turned in by the checkers are examined at the scorekeepers’ table. An answer that is incorrect or in unacceptable form will be subject to a penalty. Points will be deducted from the team score according to how many points would have been received if the answer were correct (5 points will be deducted for an incorrect first place answer, 3 for second, etc.).

4. Correct solutions not placed in the given answer space are not correct answers! Rationalize all denominators. Reduce all fractions, unless the question says otherwise. Do not leave fractions as complex fractions.
