Math 12 - Arocena Cup Update

First, Team ? has been renamed to Team #Diversity.

Second, congratulations to Team ?? for winning the Mr. Arocena Trivia Jeopardy!  This puts them in a tie for first place with 13 points.  The Fantastic Four scored 3 points (for a total of 13), while Asia picked up 2 points (for a total of 13) and #Diversity got the lone point for last place (for a total of 12).

Competition got way closer than what I intended but that just means it might be a winner take all during Friday's competition.

Math 12 Arocena Cup Update

Congrats to Samira for winning a round against me in our Arocena Cup challenge.  Doing so gives Team Asia 2 points to shoot them up to 10 points.
However, Dakota was able to win a match against me and earns The Fantastic Four 3 points and that puts them at 10 points as well.

Well done to both Dara and Sahej for almost beating me in a round despite their lack of experience.

Good job on the quiz too!

Arocena Cup Update

Big update for the Arocena Cup.
I've been a little slack in updating the scores and to be honest I've kind of suspended the competition in two of my classes.  One class mostly because the entire class seems a little lax in motivation for all things and the other class because I spend way too much time trying to keep you guys on task.
For the other two classes here are the updated scores.

For Pre-Calculus 12 in Block D

Team Asia
Samira earns 1 point for highest score on first test (actually several people earned the same but Samira had the most amusing answer for the last question)
Carrie earns 1 point for the highest score on the second test (there were several people who got the same mark but Carrie had the most amusing answer for the last question)

The Fantastic Four
Caleb earns 1 point for the highest score on the third test (he tied with other people but had the most amusing story on the last question)
The whole team earns 1 point for the highest average after term 1.

Team ?
Emile earns 1 point for the highest score on the fourth test tied with Sahej but Emile answered the last question.
Sahej earns 1 point for the highest score on the sixth test as he was the only one who aced it and did it on the day it was supposed to be written.

Team ??
Colter earns 1 point for the highest score on the fifth test as he was the only one who aced it and did it on the day it was supposed to be written.

So few people wrote the seventh test on the day it was supposed to be written that no team earned the point for that day.

So The Fantastic four are in the lead with 5 points, there is a 2-way tie for second place with 4 points, and Team ?? is on the board with 1 point.  This last week of school before break will see more opportunities for points (the Street Fighter tournament on Friday as well as the movie assignment on Thursday will be a great opportunity to earn points for your team so be prepared!)

For Foundations and Pre-Calculus Math 10 in Block A

Megan earns the point for Chapter 1
Isabella earns the point for Chapter 2
Jane L. earns the point for Chapter 3
Matthew earns the point for Chapter 4
Zech earns the point for Chapter 5

Mya earns 1 point for winning the first Street Fighter Friday.
Max earns 1 point for winning the second Street Fighter Friday.
Dawson earns 1 point for being the first in the class to beat me in a Street Fighter Friday match.

I forget which team everyone is on but I will add up the scores once I'm back in school and have the team lists.  Also our final Street Fighter Friday before the break will let each team earn more points so be prepared!
