OSSM Middle
School
Math: An Awesome Contest |
Our annual
mathematics competition for sixth,
seventh and eighth grade students, OSSM
Middle School Math: An Awesome Contest is
a two-round
event that begins early in spring semester.
Round
One features a forty-minute test with
questions based on topics that address the mathematics in Priority
Academic
Student Skills (PASS). The question
sheet is formatted for easy scoring. One
copy of the question sheet, an answer key, an answer explanation sheet
and a
cover letter is forwarded to teachers of middle grades mathematics
across the
state. Teachers are free to duplicate
the test. Test Questions and Answers are posted on our website www.ossm.edu
after the annual math contest has been completed.
We encourage teachers to use a class period
when convenient, generally late January or early February, for students
to
participate in Round One.

After Round One is administered at the local
level, we ask that a teacher mail or email to OSSM the names and
addresses of
the school’s three top scorers. Those
top scorers are invited to participate in Round Two on OSSM’s Oklahoma
City
campus which takes place in early March.
Following an hour-long test, Round Two
participants and their parents or other chaperons are the guests of
OSSM for
lunch in the Dan Little Residence Hall and are escorted on campus tours
by
current OSSM students. The day’s
activities conclude with an awards ceremony.
All Round Two participants receive certificates
to acknowledge their achievements. Awards
for top performers are made in several divisions according to school
area
population.
