As for the past few years, Science Resources will offer the MOEMS Elementary and Middle School Math Olympiads contests. This series of five monthly competitions emphasizes problem-solving skills. For more information on this international contest, please see the web site http://www.moems.org
Unlike last year but like the preceding years, we will meet immediately before CHEER, Friday mornings from 7:50-8:45 am at Crossroads Community Church. We will use the famous Lenchner Creative Problem Solving book to review basic problem-solving skills applied to fun math problems. The five contests will be on Nov 14, Dec 12, Jan 16, Feb 6, and Mar 6.
As in the past three years, we are delighted that the Barr family is hosting a Math Olympiads group in Chester County for homeschoolers at their Oxford, Chester County home. Contact us for more information.
A new MOEMS group for homeschoolers will be held in the Media/Wallingford area; for information please contact Barbara at bscott841@earthlink.net.
The Mathematical Association of America sponsors the largest and most famous of all high school math competitions, the American Mathematics Competition (AMC), which eventually leads to the International Mathematics Olympiads. For more information, see their web site http://www.unl.edu/amc/
Your 9th to 12th grader is encouraged to compete in this competition, which will be held on Tuesday morning February 10, 2009. To assist high school students to prepare for this exam, the high schoolers are invited to join a study group going over old exam problems during the MOEMS contest times, that is, Friday mornings from 7:50-8:45 am on Nov 14, Dec 12, Jan 16, and Feb 6.
Registration for either the 4-8 grade MOEMS exams or the 9-12 grade AMC exam is $20 for the first child and $10 per additional child. This covers the cost of registering the teams and paying for the handouts. The labor is all volunteer, and we welcome your help if you love math. Scholarships are available if you ask.
We are thankful to CHEER (Christian Home Educators Enrichment Resources, a homeschool ministry of Crossroads Community Church in Upper Darby), for hosting us and for advertising this as part of their program.
