MATH OLYMPIAD PROGRAM OVERVIEW 2007-2008

Math Olympiad Curriculum covers Number Sense, Algebra, Geometry, Problem Solving, Measurement, and Probability/Statistics. Students will be learning in a team format at school meetings and at the culminating competition. This challenging 5th grade curriculum takes time outside of school to learn. Students will be expected to complete work at home every week. Parents usually need to be available for help. The cost for this program is graciously covered by PTSA and Newcastle Elementary. 

All meetings will take place Fridays from 8:15-9:10 in the Library or Room 261 (Undecided).  Below are the meeting dates. If changes occur in this schedule, we will notify you. If school is delayed or closed, Math Olympiad will be cancelled that day.
