The Birchwood mathletes continue to excel this spring. The school competed in Ohio Math League competition on the sixth, seventh and eighth grade levels. This competition is composed for 25 difficult word problems that must be completed in a forty minute period.
In the team competition, our sixth graders tied for second place in the state; the seventh grade team placed fifth and the eighth grade team also placed fifth.
In the individual competition the students excelled. In the sixth grade, Kavya tied for first place, Hajira, Dhweeja, and Clive tied for the third highest score; Nate tied for the fourth highest score, Christine tied for the fifth highest score, and Peter tied for the sixth highest score. In addition, Naomi, Katelyn, Jorgen, Stewart, Kareem, Shan, and Sachi earned the Birchwood School honorable mention.
In the seventh grade, Hassan tied for the third highest score in the state, while Alexander and Suzie tied for the seventh highest score. Trevor, Prithvi, Sunny, Marla earned the Birchwood School honorable mention.
In the eighth grade, Shawki tied for the second highest score in the state, Deepak tied for the third highest, Munim and Nathan tied for the fourth highest, Zaeem tied for the fifth highest, Grant and Ben tied for the eighth highest score. Carlf, LuLu and Clare earned the Birchwood School honorable mention.
On an interesting note, I allowed the fifth graders to participate in the sixth grade contest. If their scores were permitted, they would have had the seventh highest score in the state. Not bad!!!
