Math Olympiad is a yearlong series of five contests that provides students in grades four through eight training in creative problem-solving mathematics skills. Created in 1977 by Dr. George Lenchner, an internationally known math educator. Math Olympiad went public in 1979. Last year 150,000 students from 5,000 teams worldwide participated in the competition. All 50 states and 25 other countries were represented by their brightest math students.

 

The students’ teacher and coach, Mrs. Nicole Gregory, described the experience saying, “The Math Olympiad is a difficult contest that all fifth through eighth grade students at Birchwood participate in each year. It is wonderful to watch the students grow competency and confidence as they improve from one test to the next and from year to year. They are excited to improve and we, the teachers, are happy to see them excited about math and growth!”

Birchwood congratulates these students on their accomplishment and looks forward to the next level of competition.
