Shoreline Math Olympiad at SCC on March 14

Participants in the 2014 Olympiad at SCC

Shoreline Math Olympiad will host its 17th annual competition Saturday March 14, 2015 at Shoreline Community College.

This day-long math competition is open to all students grades 4th through 8th who reside in or attend public or private schools in the city of Shoreline. This year's event is expected to have more than 800 student participants.

Students participate in individual testing, both multiple choice as well as mental math. Then they move onto team competition consisting of teams of four students from the same grade. Medals are given to the top 40% of students in the individual competition, and the top 60% of the teams.

We also award Participation trophies to the top three places for schools that send the highest percentage of eligible students to the competition.

Though many of the students prepare for the event by participating in their home school's math club, there is no requirement of prior math club experience to come to Shoreline Math Olympiad!

This event is free for all, thanks to the generous financial support of Shoreline Community College, Shoreline Public Schools Foundation, Shoreline Public Schools, James Alan Salon, Chuck Olson Chevrolet, and Smart Service/Subaru.

This event is open to the public. Feel free to stop by and join us for our entertainment and awards ceremony which begins at 12:15pm in the Shoreline Community College gym. There is no charge for parking during the event.
