В четверг, 16 марта в 6 часов вечера будет проходить математическая олимпиада “Кенгуру”. Русская Школа Оранж Каунти принимает участие в международной олимпиаде, начиная с 2006 года, занимая призовые места по California and National winner list. Участие в олимпиаде предоставляется ученикам 1 класса и старше. Олимпиадные задачи нетривиальные, они заставляют думать и учат необычным подходам и решениям. На уроках учителя математики разбирают задачи из вариантов Кенгуру прошлых лет, чтобы заинтересовать ребят и подготовить желающих к олимпиаде.
Ниже информация для участников в олимпиаде
