Shoreline Math Olympiad this Saturday with 750 students registered

The 15th annual Shoreline Math Olympiad will be held on Saturday, March 9 from 8:30am to 2:30pm at Shoreline Community College. The competition is for students in grades four through eight and this year we have students competing from all of the Shoreline and Lake Forest Park public and private schools.

Over 1,000 Mathletes and spectators attended the awards ceremony in 2012

More than 750 students have already registered to participate in the Math Olympiad this year. 

Several Shoreline schools use parents and teacher math coaches to work with student "mathletes" to solve challenging math problems at a higher grade level.

in 2012, the 1st place team award went to Highland Terrace with 104 Mathletes,
53% of the school's 4th,5th & 6th grade students, participating in Shoreline Math Olympiad.
Second place team award went to St. Mark Catholic and Third Place trophy was awarded to Shoreline Christian.

Most school programs start meeting in the fall and conclude at the competitions held in the spring. Most programs give homework to the students during the week, and have a quiz day at the end of each month to give the kids a chance to use their skills to see how they stand amongst their peers.

The Shoreline Math Olympiad brings together all the Shoreline School District teams and area private schools for day of competition and entertainment. Some students will also participate in the Washington State Math Championships held in Blaine and Math Is Cool regional and state competitions.For more information visit the Shoreline Math Olympiad website
