FACILITATION TIPS
- Pacing: 90s for 100-300 pts; 3 min for 400-500 pts.
- Format: Have teams write answers on whiteboards first.
- Extensions: Ask "What's a common wrong answer for this?" after the correct one is revealed.
- Double Points: Choose one 500-pt question to be a "Daily Double" (betting allowed).

Watch Out For...
Ratios: Misplacing order of terms (oranges to apples vs apples to oranges).
Negative: Confusion that -8 is "bigger" because 8 is bigger than 5.
Geometry: Forgetting to divide by 2 for triangle area (\( \frac{1}{2}bh \)).
