1.
Would you do the Challenge again next year? If “yes,” why? If
“no” why not?
Yes = 16
No = 1 (Partner School
didn't respond)
2.
If you answered “yes” to number one, when would you want to do
it? The only reason I picked this time slot was because one of the math
teachers wanted it to coincide with their “packaging” unit. We ran into
the Thanksgiving break, which created issues for some. Would it be
better to do it as a September/October “Getting to Know You” activity,
Mid-Winter (January/February) “Getting through Winter” activity, or
Spring (March/April) “Wrap up the Year” activity?
Leave it here = 8
Early = 0
Winter = 5
Spring = 1
Anytime = 2
3.
Several schools wanted to do the activity in teams? If you
did, how did it work out? Should teams be an option open to all? If yes,
how many could be on a team?
Teams = 6
Individual = 5
Either = 3
No Opinion = 3

How did you do the activity? Was it a part of your curriculum,
extra credit, what?

5.
What about the scoring? I selected the 100, 50, etc. simply
because it’s what’s always been done. Should the chip damage scoring be
revised?
Yes = 2
No = 12

No Packages Received = 1
