Calculator Quick Draw

Student Activities

In the Calculator Quick Draw, five to six contestants will face off in each round. The top two contestants from each round will go on to the final round. There will be three judges (each with their own answer sheet), one judge to note who's hand is raised first, and someone to switch the slides and keep score.

We will host 4-5 qualifying rounds each with 10 questions, the first person to get the right answer to the problem gets a point. The top 2 scoring contestants from each qualifying round will go on to compete in the final round. The top 2 contestants in the final round will win the $50 gift card or $30 gift card respectively.

The questions will be a test of calculator skills like using the solver, built in statistics operations, and also include a lot of parenthesis to test how fast you can type while getting the right syntax.

Any additional questions or concerns? Email activities.ususwe@gmail.com with the subject "Calculator Quick Draw" and we will get back to you
