Math Week
ISC - Amman
November 17, 2013

During Revision Week ISC – Amman’s SLO® team came up with a brilliant idea to prepare their students for the upcoming exams. The SLO® Academic Department organized a “SLO® Math Week” for grades 6, 7 and 8 students. They offered each grade a different contest that took place during their lunch break. The students competed against each other using the material that they are revising for the coming exams.
The Grade 6 students competed against each other in “The Wheel of Math” competition similar to the “Wheel of Knowledge” concept. The wheel was divided into the following categories:
- Quick Math (Mental Math)
- Hello Mr. Venn (Set Theory Questions)
- Simple is Better (Simplifying Expressions)
- The X-Factor (Questions Involving Variables)
Teams consisted of 3 students, with three teams competing against each other in one match. The contest consisted of 9 teams, playing a knock-out stage with three qualifying matches, which lead up to a very epic final match.
The Grade 7 students competed in the “So You Think You Can Graph” completion. Students competed in teams of two to graph a given equation faster than the other teams.
The competition had a surprise final round where the two players of the winning team played one round against each other and the winner was crowned the champion of the competition!
The grade 8 students competed in the “Math Jeopardy” competition where a total of 12 teams of 2 (24 students in total) competed individually. The students with the most correct answers advanced to the final knock-out-round. The winners played against each other until there was only one team left, and they will were crowned the Jeopardy Champions.
The slogan of the event was Together, We Can Prevent Failure
