Two National Poster Competition Winners Hail from Same School

摘要

This year, there were two national poster competition winners from Odyssey Elementary School. Rachel Zhu won first place in the grades 4-6 category for her poster, "Sleep Stats," and Maya Lemery won second place in the grades K-3 category for her poster, "Do Favorite Colors Change as Kids Get Older?" The ASA/NCTM Joint Committee oversees the ASA National Statistics Poster Competition. Pat Hopfensperger, a director of the Wisconsin Mathematical Education Foundation and former ASA/ NCTM Joint Committee chair, visited Jennifer Blattner's class at Odyssey Elementary School in Appleton, Wisconsin, to congratulate the two national winners. Here, Zhu and Lemery answer a few questions about their experiences participating in the poster competition.
