District+Math+Festival-Competition

For the grade level questions that have been reworked, the questions are according to the learning outcomes at that grade level but deeper. To prepare a team for the competition a teacher might first focus on team building and strategy.

-How might a team focus on answering a multitude of questions? 1 team mate per question? Solve in partners? Pass on questions for others to try when one or more of you are unsure? Have another teammate or teammates do a double check?

-Practice to find what works for a particular team using questions gathered.
