Math Counts 2014-2015

The Wahiawa Middle School Math Counts Team, under the direction of Cheryl Oishi and Thomas Lee, placed 10th overall out of 28 schools from around Oahu. The competition challenges students to complete complex and difficult math problems both individually and as a team.


Example A: If three flicks are equivalent to eight flecks and six flocks are equivalent to four flecks, how many flocks are equivalent to 12 flicks?


Example B: Six black chips have been placed on the game board shown. What is the sum of the numbers in the two squares where the seventh and eighth chips must be placed so that each row contains exactly 2 chips and each column contains exactly 2 chips?
