Math Olympiad

Math Olympiad is a Math Problem solving contest for teams of up to 35 students in grades 4 and 5. The Math Olympiad club is a place for students to help stimulate enthusiasm and a love for Mathematics. There are important Mathematical concepts, strategies for problem solving, Mathematical intuition, Mathematical creativity and ingenuity, and a satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenges throughout this experience.

 

Your school's math club meets weekly for 45 minutes. Club members explore a topic or strategy in depth, using Creative Problem Solving in School Mathematics (or other sources), or they practice for the contests, using nonroutine problems from both Math Olympiad Contest Problems Volume 2 or Mathematical Olympiads Contest Problems for Elementary and Middle Schools (or other sources). The highlights for students are the five monthly contests, given from November to March. No traveling is required. These contests provide an incentive for students to intensify their study of math.
