Math Olympics

Yesterday Ben participated in the Math Olympics.  Six kids from each grade (3rd - 8th) represented Northpoint in a competition against area Christian schools.  Three students competed in Computation and three in Reasoning.  Ben competed in the Reasoning category. He said it was mainly word problems and patterns.  They were scored on three 11 minute tests.  They took a fourth 11 minute test to serve as a tie breaker.  There were still ties.  Ben tied for 5th place.

 All the 4th grade reasoning participants are on stage.  Ben being awarded his 5th place ribbon.

 Congratulating another student from NCS who tied for 5th in Reasoning.
