This year, they both participated in a yearlong international math competition called Math Olympiad. Math Olympiad has timed math tests that are all critical thinking, problem solving questions. The participants spend the year with practice problems and meet several times as a team to take the timed tests.
The tests and scores are submitted to the international competition (includes 17 countries).
We attended a special ceremony at Hickman for all of the Math Olympiad participants. We were very excited to find out that Daniel received the second highest score for the sixth graders at Hickman (keep in mind that he is a fifth grader). He also missed being in the top 5 percent internationally by only two points. Way to go, Daniel!
We were super excited that Amanda was the top scorer for all of the 7th and 8th graders at Hickman, and she did win an award for being in the top 5 percent of all students internationally. She worked very hard this year, and she earned and deserved this high honor. Way to go, Amanda!
