Practicum PROBLEM SOLVING PRACTICUM Directions to contest chair: The contest will consist of 5 math problems that will follow the general format of the following examples. Each question will be worth 10 points. Each question should be presented to the contestant in a format that allows room to complete their written computations on the same paper as the question is stated. In grading the question, the evaluator will allow for partial credit (5 points max) if the answer is wrong but the contestant has adequately shown and labeled their work. Student directions: For each problem place your answer on the line provided after each question. Calculators are allowed. Be sure to write and label all computations in the space provided. Up to 5 points of partial credit will be given if the answer on the blank is wrong but the contestant has adequately shown and labeled their work. Note: The computations in parenthesis are the answers. Example A: You want to have a two-week supply of dog food. Your dog eats 15 lbs. of dog food per day.
