|
Brazil was last on test promoted by OCDE on students performance of 32 countries. However, Eduardo Fischer, 11 years, shows that in the future this result can be different. Eduardo Fischer, 11 years, is pupil of 7ª grade on State School Monsignor Scalabrini, on Encantado village at Rio Grande do Sul state. Eduardo conquered the gold medal in 23ª Brazilian Matemathics Olimpiada, winning almost 50 thousand students of all the country. These students are the best in mathematics of the country, being of 5ª grade until college students! Eduardo made 326 of the 30 points disputed in the three tests of the competition, that started in June and was until October. For the regional coordinator of the Olimpiada/2001, Claus Haetinger, who follows his pupil since 1999, "as more difficult are questions, plus Eduardo fun. For who he looks at, he seems that he is playing". When is not solving mathematics questions or reading, Eduardo likes to play soccer or videogame. |
