(From Thomas Jefferson Independent Day School)

Congratulations to the TJ students who received national recognition in the 2014 Spring Noetic Math Contest. The contest is a biannual math challenge for elementary students, and the goal is to encourage young students' interest in math as they develop their problem solving skills. 
 During the contest, students were given 45 minutes to solve 20 problems that covered a broad range of math skills including computation and number properties, algebra, geometry, probability, and statistics.

 The TJ students competed against more than 19,000 other students from 368 public and private schools nationwide. This program provides challenge beyond regular school curriculum, strengthens creative problem solving, and logical reasoning skills, further develops students' intellect in math, and helps students excel in math.
