Math Field Day is a name for various mathematics competitions, including a team competition in Orange County, California〔http://www.ocmathcouncil.com/Math_Field_Day.html〕 and an individual competition in West Virginia. The remainder of this article is about the West Virginia competition. The West Virginia Math Field Day is the largest individual mathematics competition 〔(Math Field Day Competition Information )〕 ranging from grades 4-12 held in West Virginia. In 4th-9th grade, students compete within their own grade. In 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, students compete within all of the grades mentioned. The West Virginia Council of Teachers of Mathematics are avid supporters of Math Field Day, and created it to spur students' curiosity in mathematics. There are 8 regions created from the 55 counties of the state. The counties of each region are *Region I- Raleigh, Wyoming, Mcdowell, Mercer, Summers, Monroe *Region II- Cabell, Lincoln, Logan, Mason, Mingo, Wayne *Region III- Boone, Clay, Kanawha, Putnam *Region IV- Pocahontas, Webster, Fayette, Braxton, Nicholas, Greenbrier *Region V- Wood, Pleasants, Calhoun, Jackson, Ritchie, Roane, Tyler, Wirt *Region VI- Hancock, Brooke, Ohio, Marshall, Wetzel *Region VII- Barbour, Doddridge, Gilmer, Harrison, Lewis, Marion, Monongalia, Preston, Randolph, Taylor, Tucker, Upshur *Region VIII- Berkeley, Grant, Hampshire, Hardy, Jefferson, Mineral, Morgan, Pendleton ==Levels of competition== The levels of competition in Math Field Day are outlined below. In the event of a county containing all of the students in a particular grade level in one school, the first stage of the competition is that of the county level. School-Math Field Day begins at the school level. In 4th, 5th, 6th 7th, 8th, and 9th grades, each school is allowed to send a "team"(these students do not actually work together) of three students from each grade to the county competition. In 10th, 11th, and 12th grades, the top ten students proceed to county. County-From the county competition, the top three students from each grade 4th-9th are eligible to attend their region's Math Field Day. In 10th, 11th and 12th grades, the top ten students proceed to their region's Math Field Day. Region-As in the county level, the top three students from each grade 4-9 will proceed to the state competition. Also, the top ten students from grades 10-12 will proceed to the state Math Field Day. State-Twenty-four students from each grade 4-9 compete at the state competition, and eighty students from grades 10-12. The top three placing students from each grade 4-9 will receive an award, and here the competition ends for them. In grades 10-12, though, it continues. The top fifteen students will make up West Virginia's American Regions Mathematics League(ARML) team. The next top 15 scoring individuals will be the alternates for the team. Nationals (for 10th-12th only)-The ARML test is administered at three locations. West Virginia takes the test at Pennsylvania State University. Here, students compete in both individual and team rounds, though there are significantly more team-oriented rounds than individual ones. Last year, West Virginia competed in Division B, and placed 66th of the 79 teams who competed in this competition. Math Field Day also occurs in PUSD of Pasadena California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Math Field Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
