District 162 Crowns Math Olympians


Matteson, IL-(ENEWSPF)- Matteson Elementary School District 162 recently conducted Math Olympics, which featured 70 students from first through eighth grades in the District’s schools. The schools include Arcadia, Matteson, Indiana, Sauk, Illinois and Huth Middle School.

 The math event required the students to take a mental math test without the aid of scratch paper or a calculator and a written problem solving exam. 

“The students involved in the Math Olympics are among our schools’ top math students,” said Amanda Godin, coordinator of the Olympics and gifted teacher at Indiana School. “They have worked with coaches at their home schools for most of the school year in preparation for this competition. We congratulate all of the participants for their hard work.”
