This is a sample team practice plan designed for a 120-minute session. This is provided as an example of how you can structure a practice to prepare for a competition. In this case, you would select a past Math Is Cool year (like 2018-2019 6th grade Masters) and use those questions.
| Start | End | Topic |

| 0m | 10m | Start with college bowl questions to warm up.* This is a good activity to start with in case some members are late. |
| 10m | 15m | Discussion of practice plan and Q&A. |
| 15m | 35m | Discuss a topic for the week.* This might be covering a few questions for a specific topic or challenging questions from that MIC’s individual test. |
| 35m | 40m | Mental math and review. |
| 40m | 65m | Team multiple choice and review. |
| 65m | 90m | Team test and review. |
| 90m | 100m | Relays and review. |
