Mathematical Olympiad

2012 was the first time a Mathematical Olympiad for Adult Learning Schools was held in Spain. It was organized by “Isaac Newton Teachers of Mathematic Society", in Tenerife. Our learners participated last year in the Second Edition, and they got good marks. So we'll participate on the Third Mathematical Olympiad this year. We've learned from our European colleagues in relation to using Peer-mentoring as a weekly activity held by a mentor. This technic has been tested by most of them and it works. We also wanted to include it in our school, and the Mathematical Olympiad is a good chance for doing so. An advanced Maths learner is mentoring their partners once a week, so they can solve Maths problems, similiar to those solved in previous editions and new ones too, of course. The aim is getting ready for the contest, thanks to peer-mentoring, and at the same time, stimulating our learners' Maths talent and skills. The Olympiad will be held in May. We're using the Evaluation Survey we agreed in Germany.
