A team from Redmond High School (RHS) placed 13th in the 2015 Four-by-Four Competition, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing.
Coach Liz Sirjani prepared students for this contest, in which teams of four participated in 10 three-minute rounds in which they attempted to answer four questions. This gives each student three minutes to answer one problem, but the team must also decide who will work each problem and whether their time would be better spent checking one another’s work on easier and more familiar problems or if they should attempt to answer all four questions.
After results from schools across the country were double-checked, the team of freshmen Khushi Chaudhari, Lucy Jiang, Daniel Liu and Rishma Murugan, placed fifth in the youngest division, helping their school to place 13th overall among the top schools in the country. RHS participated in all four of National Assessment & Testing’s contests this year.
