The Nassau County Math Tourney is an all-day event, held at SUNY Old Westbury, on Friday February 3, 2012. Portledge will sponsor three teams this year, two teams of five students each from grades 11 & 12 and one team from grades 11 & 12.
There are three rounds. The upper and lower classmen have different problem sets for the first round, and the same problem set for the second round. The third round is the team event, in which all five students on each team collaborate to solve as many problems as possible.
After the competition, students enjoy a luncheon and an awards ceremony. The top teams and individual students receive trophies & plaques. It is always an exciting day!
