Math Olympiad
Math Olympiad is an international Mathematics competition for students. Our school competes in Division E, among 4th-6th Grade students. Participants take 5 monthly contests, and receive recognition at the end of the year based on their performance. Visit the MOEMS (Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools) website for info!
What Every Young Mathlete Should Know
The purpose of Math Olympiad is...
Who participates in Math Olympiad?
This year, we are encouraging any 4th or 5th Grader interested in Math Olympiad to let their parent and/or teacher know.
What work is assigned for Math Olympiad?
Students will have optional practice problems to work on throughout the week IF THEY CHOOSE TO. The problems are multi-step and challenging. Students are to use the strategies taught in class and are required to have written work. We prefer they attempt the problems without parental assistance - the problem-solving process is the focus, as opposed to just a correct solution.
Is Math Olympiad graded? No! Students are accountable for their work, but the competition will not be used as report card grades.
A student is encouraged to complete with himself/herself. Individual growth is celebrated!
