ALGEBRA PINBALL

Know how a pinball machine always reports the top scores?
You can compete with others for the top ALGEBRA PINBALL scores!

Here are the steps to submit your FAST scores:

Time yourself on one of the exercises in the ALGEBRA PINBALL table below.
You must do at least 20 problems.
The number correct must be at least 90% of the number attempted. This is to prevent you from just clicking quickly until you get specific problem(s) that you know how to solve.
Print (File–Print) the summary sheet that you get when you press the "End Timing" button.
A sample of this summary sheet is shown on the right.
Fill in the required information on this summary sheet (NAME, LOCATION IN WORLD, etc.)
Of course, you'll only submit sheets that BEAT the times listed in the chart below.
A maximum of TWO timing sheets may be submitted per person, per day.
HAVE FUN!!! DO MATH!!!
