 * Here are a few things you should know:**


 * **You will need to have access to a computer at home or at school to earn points.**
 * **There will be times when you will need to print something on the computer and turn it in to me at school. I will have a bin on my desk up front (by Nurse Alice's office) for anything that you have to turn in. Please do not give your work to Mrs. Ronnette at the front desk. Turn in everything to me.**
 * **I will not chase you down and ask for assignments and print outs. YOU have to turn things in to me.**
 * **NO work will be accepted after the deadline has passed. NO EXCEPTIONS.**
 * **You will have until February 24th to earn points.**
 * **I will post a point tally at the end of every week so that you can see how you are doing.**
 * **On February 25th, I will announce the team members for your grade on the morning announcements.**
 * **We will have practices for 3 weeks to get ready for Math Fest.**
 * **The practices will be held on Monday afternoons on March 7th, March 14th, and March 22nd. You will need to arrange transportation home after school on those days if you make the team and stay for practice.**

**Here is how you can earn your points:**
I will create practice tests and assign them to you. You will go to [|www.georgiaoas.org] and sign in with your 10 digit GTID number, just like you do when taking a benchmark test at school. I provided your GTID number for you on your wiki username and password sheet. Complete the tests at home or at school if you have free time. NEVER go to wiki when you are supposed to be doing something for classwork! Print the results page after you take the practice test and bring it to me at school. I will have a bin available on my desk up front for all Math Fest work. The number of points you receive for taking the test is equal to your score. For example, if you receive a 90 on the test, you have earned 90 points. I will be giving you some very difficult problems on these tests. Don't be surprised. Do the best you can. DO THE TESTS BY YOURSELF....NO HELP FROM PARENTS!
 * 1. Complete practice crct tests online.**

I will post various word problems and/or computation problems for you to try. There will be a page of problems for your grade level. Click on that page, and choose which problem you wish to do. You will need to print the problem, work the problem, and turn in EVERYTHING that you do. Do not post your answers on wiki. Turn in your work to me, and I will send you a message on wiki telling you how many points you earned.
 * 2. Check wiki postings for problems that you can complete.**

To receive 5 points, you must work on the computer for 20 minutes on one of the assigned websites. Your parents MUST write a note to me to verify that you did your 30 minutes of work. You MUST turn in that note to get your points. NO note, NO points. I will not take your word for it. I MUST have it in writing from your parents.
 * 3. See the website challenge page for webistes you can visit to earn points.**

As time passes, I may come up with other ways for you to earn points. Be sure to check wiki every day to see if there is anything new you need to know. I will post announcements and maybe even bonus points opportunities. SO CHECK WIKI EVERY DAY!

Have fun! Be sure to see me in the hall if you have any questions. You can also send me a message on wiki.

HAVE FUN!
