NWFSC Math Bowl
Abstract
The NWFSC Math Bowl is a one-day annual event hosted by the Northwest Florida State College Mathematics Department annually since 1987. High Schools across the Florida Panhandle and southern Alabama are invited to visit the NWFSC Niceville Campus and compete both as individuals and as teams. The individual competition consists of a 45-question written exam including topics from Algebra, Geometry, Trigonometry, and advanced topics including Calculus. The team competition consists of 20 two-minute ciphering questions where team members work in pairs. Individual awards are presented, and scores from both components of the competition are combined to determine team awards. The Math Bowl encourages individual excellence in the courses which form the framework of the high school mathematics curriculum which is foundational to all STEMM-related fields. It encourages teamwork as students prepare for and as they participate in the competition. And it fosters a collegial environment where students and faculty alike from across the region can convene and connect as they participate in this shared experience.
