| 2007-2008 Brookside Math Olympiads Information What is Math Olympiads? The Brookside Math Olympiads program is an opportunity for 4th, 5th, and 6th graders to practice and improve their math skills. This program, open free of charge, consists of three parts:
Who Can Participate? Brookside 4th, 5th, and 6th graders who like math and want to improve their skills will enjoy this opportunity. Instruction will be provided appropriate to the current skills of the students. The goal is to help every student improve their skills as much as possible. THE MORE PARENT INVOLVEMENT WE GET, THE MORE REALISTIC THIS GOAL BECOMES! Parent Volunteers The success of the Math O program is due to parent volunteers. We ask for instructional assistants as well as other help. Instructional assistants help out during the class. Your coach will give you the answers to the problems ahead of time so you will feel more confident with helping. You do not have to be a math wiz to be a parent volunteer. If you can help only once a month that is fine if you can help every Friday that is great too! When will the Math Olympiads Team Meet? Gr 4 Fri 8:00-9:00a Starts Oct 19 Blue Jay Room Coach Mary Chavez Will my child be able to purchase one of those great “got math?” t-shirt? Yes! All Math Olympiads students, parent volunteers, and coaches are encouraged to purchase a “got math?” t-shirt. The cost is $6.00 per t-shirt ordered. These t-shirts have the same design as last year so there’s no need to purchase a new t-shirt unless your child would like a larger size! What about a student who is on Patrol? Students who serve on patrol can also participate. If they have patrol duty that day then their coach will dismiss them on time to so they can report for patrol duty. Who Leads the Brookside Math Olympiads Team? Carol Coleman & Kurt Zylstra are the Math Olympiads Team Coordinators and are the primary points of contact. Instruction, test proctoring, test grading, and logistical support are provided by parent volunteers. Contact Carol ec.coleman@comcast.net or Kurt Zylstrafamily@comcast.net if you have any questions. Registration forms: Ask you teacher or check in the office |
