When a student chooses to join Math Olympiad they will be participating in the Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools. MOEMS 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 for them to: l. 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, and 5. build a stronger foundation for assessments and for future mathematics studies. |
