Adem Ekmekci & Gladys Krause HANDOUTS UTeach Institute - NMSI Annual Conference Austin, TX / May 24 – 26, 2011 THE PROBLEM Your task is to develop a method for determining which of the twelve teams wins the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth place trophies. Make sure you explain very clearly why the teams should be ranked this way, so that the kids on all the teams will understand that your system is fair. There are twelve teams in the Flat Mountain School District, but many, many more in the whole state! At the end of the season, the state soccer officials will need to find the top five teams for the state. Write a letter to the soccer officials where you explain how your system works and why it is fair. Make sure the officials will understand how to use your ranking system for any number of teams. 10
