Elementary and middle school students in the Fontana Unified School District will demonstrate their mathematical skills as a part of the District’s 43rd annual Math Field Day competition on Saturday, May 5, 2007 at A.B. Miller High School.

Teams of 5^th, 6^th, 7^th and 8^th grade students are involved in several different types of math knowledge testing and strategy games.  The topics include terminology, problem solving, calculator skill use, mental mathematics, basic skills arithmetic, algebra and geometry.  Five mathematically based strategy games are played in a tournament-like competition.  Students will be awarded medals for first through fifth places.  In addition, based on individual student performance, schools compete for overall awards. 

Sills testing begins at 8:30 a.m. and game competition begins at 9:45 a.m. with presentation of awards at 11:30 a.m. in the A.B. Miller Gymnasium.
