Weekly Challenge
March 13-17, 2006
Jefferson Road School
has two teams going to the state competition in Binghamton for Odyssey of
the Mind. One of our teams worked on a problem called Ancient Egypt
and the other team's problem is called Geometry Structure. Some problems
have 20 teams competing for first place. I was wondering if there were
only 3 teams in the competition (Team A, Team B, and Team C), how many different
ways can they place for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place?_______
Show all the ways.
For 4th and 5th graders: How many different ways can 4 teams (Team A, Team
B, Team C, and Team D) fill 1st, 2nd and 3rd place?_________
Show all the ways.
