The Great Prairie AEA Sixth Grade Math Bee was held Tuesday April 8, 2014 at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center in Fairfield, Iowa. The event involved 52 teams from 18 public school districts and 2 private schools within the Great Prairie AEA region. There were 231 students participating on the building level teams including their team alternates. The test covers six different areas: The Number System; Expressions and Equations; Geometry; Statistics and Probability; Ratio, Proportion and Percent; and a Team Problem Solving Round. The test areas changed slightly to reflect the change in the Iowa Core for Mathematics.
