Noetic Math Contest
On November 14, 2014, ten Jefferson students, along with 25,000 students nationwide took a 45 minute 20 question math test. The goal of the competition is to encourage students' interest in math, develop problem solving skills, and inspire them to excel in math. Many of these problems were very challenging and students had to really pay attention to what was being asked of them. It was not a multiple choice contest.
I am pleased to announce that
Ava Bertling made the Noetic Math Honor Roll. She also was the 4th grade team winner. Way to go Ava!
