The Great Prairie AEA Sixth Grade Math Bee was held on April 26, 2022, at the Fairfield Arts and Convention Center. 17 school districts participated in this year’s event. There were 142 students on 35 teams. There are five rounds of individual math tests and one team round. The tests are all based on the Iowa Math Standards for Sixth Grade. This event is particularly challenging since the tests are timed. It is difficult to get all the questions done in a round, let alone get a perfect score. Because of this, we award Perfect Round certificates to those students that have a perfect score of 10 in a round.
Students receiving Perfect Scores in a round are:
Round 1 - The Number System
- Micah Ashmore, Central Lee
Round 5 - Ratios and Proportional Reasoning
- Ellie Humphrey, Davis County
- Alexis Roberts, Danville
- Simon Marble, Ottumwa
- Colton Shafer, North Mahaska
- Kinsley Denburger, North Mahaska
- Logan Wooldridge, Burlington
- Riley Merschman, New London
- Micah Ashmore, Central Lee
- Caedon Newton, Central Lee
- Isaiah Lange, Mt. Pleasant
Congratulations to these students for having the Top Ten Scores:
- Caedon Newton, Central Lee
- Henry Robbins, Central Lee
- Ellie Humphrey, Davis County
- Mallory Andersen, North Mahaska
- Ian Rosvold, Oskaloosa
- Alexis Roberts, Danville

- Isabella Dodds, Mount Pleasant
- Colton Shafer, North Mahaska
- Isaiah Lange, Mount Pleasant
- Luke Emerson, Wayne
- Marshall Overturf, Oskaloosa

Many thanks go to the teachers that scored the tests and monitored the students. There were also several parent volunteers that helped to proctor the test. Several people from the AEA helped prepare for the Math Bee and also helped on the day of the event. The AEA Math Team is Lori Mueller, Lynn Selking, Gary Jarmes, and Katie Hash. We cannot put on this event without the help of all these wonderful people. Thank you so much!
