[quote=Anonymous]Your school may do math Olympiad for the older kids. I think ours starts in 4th grade or something. Ask if they do that and if they’ll let him give it a go early. It’s something like 25 questions of increasing difficulty. I think most 4th traders are doing well if they even get a few right. It runs through at least 8th grade. There are a lot of math competitions available a the middle school level. For those questioning why any kid would do this....the competition questions usually require much more creative thinking, and are fun and different ways to think about math, for kids who like that. There’s also a social aspect when you get to the team level. I did math competitions in middle school and it was fun—we’d get crazy bread from the pizza place and brainstorm problems. [/quote]
