2020 Fall America Answers: Grades 7th and 8th
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 nine teams from nineteen states signed up this year. Based on the number of teams that signed up, we will be awarding two trophies and ribbons in seventh grade and three trophies and ribbons in eighth 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 7th grade, the top team was from Lesher Middle School in Ft. Collins, Colorado with an awesome 1295. Willis Junior High in Chandler, Arizona is our second-place winner with a super 1261 score.
Top honors for 8th grade go to the outstanding team from Chamblee Middle School in Chamblee, Florida with a contest high score of 1371. Holdrege Middle School in Holdrege, Nebraska will receive the second-place trophy in 8th grade for their superb 1286. The third-place trophy is going to Leonia Middle School in Leonia, New Jersey with another great score of 1281.
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 percent 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.
