The Franklin senior division teams have captured first place in three of the four tournaments they have, competed in this year.

Equations was invented by Yale Professor Layman Allen in about 1960. The game consists of a playing mat and 24 cubes. Each cube contains four digits and two operation signs.

A numerical goal is set, and players must form a solution equal to the goal from the 24 cubes rolled.

The senior division team will defend those titles in the upcoming state academic games tournament, also known as Tri-Bowl, which will be held March 6-7.
