There were more than 350 entries in the ninth annual Michigan Statistics Poster Competition for K-12. Judging of the posters took place March 15th on the Allendale campus of Grand Valley State University (GVSU). Statisticians and mathematics educators from GVSU, Eastern Michigan University, Central Michigan University, and Michigan State University had a very difficult task determining the winners from among so many interesting and well-done posters.
Entries were judged in four grade level categories: K-3, 4-6, 7-9, and 10-12. Students were permitted to work in groups of up to 4 members except for the K-3 category where students were permitted to work as a class. Monetary prizes and plaques will be awarded to the winning students and their schools. The first place posters in each grade category are:
K-3: "Popcorn" by J. Waswick, Waswick Family Home School, Hamilton.
4-6: "How Happy Are You?" by A. McAuliffe, Holland West Middle School, Holland.
7-9: "The Good News and the Bad News about Teen Pregnancy* by P. Morel, V. Morel, and S. Knorek, Battle Creek Area Mathematics and Science Center, Battle Creek.
10-12: "Capital Capitols* by T. Hsia and C. Bush, Macomb Mathematics Science Technology Center, Warren.
