Anaheim, CA, May 27, 2009 - Saturday, May 23 was an exciting day for 15 Mable Campus fifth-graders who ventured to the 5th Annual Math Matters competition at Pacific Technology School in Santa Ana. The Accord Institute for Educational Research sponsored the national contest where over 1,300 students contended this year. The test consisted of 15 questions and challenged students’ overall math knowledge and logic skills. Fairmont's own mathematicians snagged four of the five top placements. First Place: Justin Curley Second Place: David Kwon Fourth Place: Tarek Sahyoun Fifth Place: Emily Liu "Fairmont's strong math curriculum and extensive use of accelerated math allows our students to be exposed to so much more in the area of math and greatly advance their abilities," said fifth grade teacher Donna Riley. "Their mastery really comes to the fore in a competition like this one where there was no advanced preparation or studying." In addition to the awards, Fairmont's students took home exciting prizes that included a laptop, digital camera, and scientific calculators. This was the first year that Fairmont participated in the Math Matters competition. |
