Nationwide 5th/6th Grade Fall America Answers Contest 2020 Results!
2020 Fall America Answers: Grades 5 & 6
Fall America Answers 2020 is over! Hats off to all the teams who in spite of all the corona virus challenges and difficulties, made it work this year and the scores are great. One hundred and thirteen teams from nineteen states signed up this year. Based on the number of teams that signed up, we will be awarding three trophies and ribbons in fifth grade and three trophies and ribbons in sixth grade.
If for some reason you were unable to meet the ending deadline, please email us at thinkcap5@gmail.com. We will let you take the contest as an unofficial participant.
In 5th grade, the top team was from St. John Lutheran School, in Seward Nebraska, with an awesome 1173. Dixie Bee Elementary in Terre Haute, Indiana is our second-place winner with a super 1171 score. The third-place trophy and ribbons will be sent to Bluewater Elementary in Niceville, Florida with a fine score of 1162.
Top honors for 6th grade go to the outstanding team from Park Forest Middle School in Niceville Florida with a contest high score of 1216. Lesher Middle School in Ft. Collins, Colorado will receive the second-place trophy in 6th grade for their superb 1208. We had a tie for third place with both scoring a great 1193. One trophy is going to Rocky Bayou Christian School in Niceville, Florida and the other trophy going to Pleasant Hill Intermediate School in Pleasant Hill, Missouri.
The trophies and ribbons will be sent soon. We suggest you print the results. We print at 80%. For those who have not participated before, the first column in the results is your rank within your grade pool. The second column called “Overall” is the rank your team would be if you combined the two grade levels and is just for your information. We use per cents only to break score ties since they do not consider the speed of the answer or if it was a second time right answer.
For those of you who took this America Answers contest, it will be available as an online practice quiz for free starting next fall. We certainly have enjoyed working with you on this contest and appreciate the difficulties you face this school year. We hope you and your students enjoyed this challenge and learned some new things. Please consider participating in the Spring America Answers Quiz in April and we appreciate any good references you give us. If you need an entry form for the spring contest go to our web site.
