The Math Olympiads program is run by the Middle School Math Specialist.  It is a program for students in grades 3-6 that provides and opportunity for them to work on developing problem solving skills.
The goals of math Olympiads are:

• To stimulate enthusiasm and a love for Mathematics
• To introduce important Mathematical concepts
• To teach major strategies for problem solving
• To develop Mathematical flexibility in solving problems
• To strengthen Mathematical intuition
• To foster Mathematical creativity and ingenuity
• To provide for the satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenges

For the 2008-2009 School year, interested students will meet regularly in  Mrs. Partridge's math room. The meetings are scheduled for Monday mornings from 7:45 to 8:25 AM.  The first meeting is scheduled for Monday, Sept. 22nd.  Complete schedule is listed below. Please make the commitment to attend for the entire year, and you will be amazed at your mathematical growth!

Each week we will work on 5-10 challenge problems. Students will be presenting and learning!

National competitions begin in November. Math Olympiads will be given sets of 5 problems, to solve in  25 minutes. Their  results are submitted to the National Program.  Students compete to be the best of St. Monica School as well as place in Nationals. 

You do not need to be a math genius- just a student who is willing to expand their own problem solving skills
