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.
