High School mathematics League Competition

in the Greater Boston Area

GBML 2023 - 2024

Welcome to the 2023 - 2024 GBML Season!

Here is our proposed meet schedule.

  • October 11, 2023 (Remote For All)
  • November 15, 2023 (In-Person {Hosts Needed} with Remote Option)
  • December  6 2023 (In-Person {Hosts Needed} with Remote Option)
  • January 10, 2024 (In-Person {Hosts Needed} with Remote Option)
  • February 7, 2024 (In-Person {Hosts Needed} with Remote Option)

 Our first meet will be a warm up and it will take place REMOTELY for all teams.    

The overwhelming feedback has called for a return to in-person meets.  We are therefor recruiting schools to host the November, December, January, February, and March Meets.  A potential hosting school should secure space for around 100 students along with a space for the coaches to grade the papers.  The host school will be required to make enough copies of the contest for the participants.  Please contact Michael Curry by October 1, 2023 if you would like to host one of the meets listed above.  
 

Please send an email to currymath@gmail.com if you are interested in joining the  league.

 
We are all looking forward to a great competition this year.
 

December Meet – Distribution of Contest Materials

Contest materials will be distributed the Wednesday that precedes the meet via an email to those coach’s that are hosting competitors.  Each coach will need to keep the contest materials secure and provide enough copies for each competitor.  We will be using full sheets of paper rather than the “slips” of paper used in the past.

 

You and your students participate on your own on either Wednesday or Thursday, . In this case, the coach will grade the papers and summarize the scoring. The coach will then upload the scores using the Google form below. Coaches are encouraged to develop a method for proctoring the meet using a web-conferencing service such as Zoom or WebEx.  We envision that this process would be similar to proctoring an exam in a hybrid learning model.  The password protected question files are provided below.  You can provide these files to the students in advance of the meet.  When all students are on your screen in “Brady Bunch” style, you can then provide the password to the students using the chat function of the web-conferencing service. Then you can keep track of the time (10 minutes per round). Announce a two minute warning and a 15 second warning.  Then provide a minute or two for the students to send you their answers.  Repeat for the 5 rounds and the team round.  If some students are at home and some students are present in your classroom, you can proctor them all at once. Note: All students on a particular team must compete at the same time.  The GBML cannot facilitate a split schedule where some students participate at one time while others participate at another time. Note, the question files are the same for both option
