2008-2009 ACSI MATH OLYMPICS
This year the Math Olympics By Mail is on NOVEMBER 11, 2008.
Pre-testing to select the students who will participate in the
Math Olympics this school year will take place the week of
September 29.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The Math Olympics is an ACSI sponsored event in which we participate
each school year. Six students from grades 3-6 are selected based
upon pre-tests given in the classrooms and their performance in
math. From each grade, three students are in Math Computations and
three students are in Math Reasoning.
On the day of the Math Olympics By Mail, the participants take a series of
tests here at the school. I administer the tests. Then, the tests are sent
to a regional scoring location where they are graded and compared with
8-12 other Christian schools in the area. The results are returned to the
school. At the end of the year award chapel, each of the participants
receive a certificate for taking part in the Math Olympics and ribbons are
awarded to the top 5 students in each category.
As a bonus for the Math Olympic students, they are allowed to come
"out-of-uniform" the day of the testing. We all go for lunch to the Food
Court at Chapel Hill Mall that day, too.
ALL STUDENTS IN GRADES 3-6 TAKE PRE-TESTS
Pre-tests to determine Math Olympic students this year will take place in
the classrooms of students in grades 3-6 in late September or early
October. The teachers will turn in the names of the Math Olypmic
participants to me. I will send permission forms home with those
students selected the beginning of October.
NOVEMBER 11, 2008
This is the date for the Math Olympics By Mail for the 2008-2009 school
year.
