We are looking to improve our UIL mathematics program. Academic UIL is designed to motivate students as they acquire higher levels of knowledge, to challenge students to confront issues of importance, and to provide students with the opportunity to demonstrate mastery of specific skills. Students are challenged to think critically and creatively, exhibiting much more than knowledge and comprehension. UIL has three different mathematics competitions; Number Sense, Mathematics, and Calculator. Mathematics and Calculator require calculators. The Mathematics Contest consists of a 40-minute, multiple-choice exam with 60 questions, designed to test knowledge and understanding in the areas of basic mathematics, algebra I and II, geometry, trigonometry, math analysis, analytic geometry, pre-calculus and elementary calculus. The Calculator Applications Contest involves a thirty-minute test comprised of 70 mathematical problems that are solved with a handheld calculator. In our UIL Mathematics class we work together to learn the math involved in these contests. Students can program their calculators to solve problems and help with speed. These competitions help build student's confidence in math, leadership skills, and teamwork. The more calculators we can afford the more students participate.
