Caleb's math team victorious

On Tuesday, Caleb's math team went up against 10 other area schools in the Math Bowl held in the Pine Village Elementary gym with an audience of about 250-300. They took first place, answering correctly 25 out of 28 questions! The proctors posted the questions on a screen and gave them 30 seconds to formulate their answers. Then the solution would be given, and the teams who got it right would hold up their hands so the fans could cheer. It was pretty hard stuff: story problems, number pattern recognition, understanding primes and writing equations. The same contest was held simultaneously over the state and Klondike finished 4th in the state for their size school. Here's a picture of the proud competitor (and proud siblings) with his medal.
