La Viña has a Math Field Day
Although Kern County Middle School Mathematics Field Day is not scored as a team competition, La Viña Middle School from Delano distinguished itself with students finishing among the top three in 11 categories. Bakersfield’s Warren Jr. High and Chipman Jr. High each had nine top three finalists. Approximately 800 students from 30 schools who competed in the 40th annual competition held at Liberty High School in Bakersfield on May 15.
The event, sponsored by the Kern County Superintendent of Schools, Westchester Kiwanis Club, Bakersfield Math Council, California Math Council, Kern County Science Foundation American Petroleum Institute-San Joaquin Valley Chapter and Liberty High, is a fun day of problem solving games and competitions. Some have playful names such as “leap frog” and “mad hatter.” Still others offer the flavor of athletic competition with names such as “power relay,” “circuit training,” “individual medley” and “triathlon games.”
“Questions are written to the California Content Standards,” said Kathy Hill, event coordinator. “So, students can get ready for Mathematics Field Day while preparing for the California Standards test at the same time. And the competition is fun for everyone.”
Sixth, seventh, eighth-graders or those in an algebra class for which they will receive high school credit compete in a series of written events testing their math skills individually and in teams of two, three, four and five by grade level.
