Math Olympiad Math Olympiad is a national organization for the purpose developing problem solving skills. Students all over the country participate in five Olympiads that are held between November and March. The level of the problems varies from grade level to grade level. At Jones Lane we participate in the fifth grade level. However, our group consists of both fourth and fifth graders.
Problems are very difficult.
We did have a participant last year that scored high enough to win a trophy. We meet every Tuesday afternoon to practice problems so that we will be ready for the monthly Olympiads. Students are divided into grade level groups and the content of the class rotates on a three year basis. Enrollment is limited and flyers are sent via the backpack about class registration. Student Council Student Council is a group of students who meet on a regular basis to discuss ideas and plans for Jones Lane's student body.
