Math Olympiad

Math Olympiad is a nonprofit public foundation which provides opportunities for children to engage in creative problem solving activities which develop a child’s ability to reason, to be logical, to be resourceful and, occasionally, to be ingenious. 

The Olympiad goals for children are as follows:

1. Develop enthusiasm for problem solving and mathematics,
2. Deepen understanding of mathematical concepts and strengthen ability to use these concepts.
3. Consider concepts that they might not otherwise encounter.
4. Enrich experiences in intellectually stimulating and significant mental activities.

Math Olympiad is offered for children in 5^th-8^th grade.  They meet once a week during their lunch time and work on strategies for problem solving different types of math problems.  Throughout the year there are 5 contests that the participants will compete in and at the end of the year is a small awards ceremony awarding the top competitor for each division. 

Math Olympiad is coordinated by volunteer efforts of John Christian and Denise May.
