Math Olympiads Study Sessions
Elementary and Middle School Olympiads
Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) is a worldwide math competition, organized by a non-profit foundation with the same name. There are two divisions, Elementary and Middle School levels. Elementary level problems are for grades 4-6 and Middle School level problems are for grades 7-8. The A+ Program is proud to host its own Math Olympiads team.
The A+ Program’s Math Olympiads team meets weekly for an hour. Members explore a topic or strategy in-depth, and practice for contests using nonroutine problems. Five monthly contests are given from November to March and provide an incentive for students to intensify their study of math.
Goals of the Math Olympiads Program
- Stimulate enthusiasm and a love for mathematics
- Introduce important mathematical concepts
- Teach major strategies for problem solving
- Develop mathematical flexibility in solving problems
- Strengthen mathematical intuition
- Foster mathematical creativity and ingenuity
- Provide for the satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenge
The History of MOEMS
Math Olympiads was created in 1977 by Dr. George Lenchner, an internationally-known math educator. The program went public in 1979. In 2011-2012, almost 150,000 students from 6,000 teams participated in Olympiads around the world. In addition to representation from all 50 United States, 30 other countries participated.

I am sure we will continue with ASC through high school as ASC has programs to support students through high school math and certainly to prepare for college entry with the SAT .”

May-parent of Henry An- going onto 6th grade (English and Math Summer Program 2020)
That would be very hard for any elementary school student transitioning to middle school, especially during a transition period of online/hybrid learning model from schools now.
With the teachers' help, I thought my son made significant progress with both the English curriculum (lots of grammar which wasn't focused on at his school as well as writing, which he was quite weak at) as well as Math curriculum (lots of new content on rates and proportionality, data analysis, as well as solidifying mixed operation skills).
The homework plus the sessions in the morning gave him much needed structure, which is very helpful to him.
When I asked him what was he most proud of in the summer, he said he was able to finish his ASC homeworks (and all the extra works), which made me quite proud."
We cannot thank you enough for setting this up.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you for this help! ---Parent from Level 8 English and Math Homework Club
