For 4th and 5th graders at Brewer Island Elementary for Academic Year 2024-2025

 

Hi 4th and 5th grade families,

 

Math Olympiad is coming up in the following months.  What is Math Olympiad?  In short, it’s a fun way for kids to challenge their logistical and mathematical thinking.  There’s a lot more to it, and you can read about all the benefits at http://www.moems.org/program.htm. 

 

There are a series of 5 tests that are designed to pull you out of your comfort zone and exercise those thinking muscles.  Each test has only 5 questions and lasts only 30 minutes.  

 

What is it?

  • It's a Math Team
  • For grades 4 - 5
  • Up to 35 students per team

Why do it?

  • Math is FUN
  • Learn new Math concepts
  • Improve problem solving
  • Foster creativity and ingenuity
  • Feel the thrill of overcoming challenges 

There will be no formal meet ups to prepare for the exams, but families have the option of getting together outside of school and hosting their own study sessions.  If you are a parent who would like to lead some study groups, please contact Sandeep, Gayatri, Jenny or Yumiko and they will supply you with a list of students who are participating.
