Math Olympics provides an opportunity for students to demonstrate their math skills in a competitive setting. A combination of timed tests are given in a series of rounds. Each student competes against other students in his or her grade and category. The areas of competition include Arithmetic Computation and Mathematical Reasoning. Students in Grades 3–8 from ACSI member schools may participate.
- Arithmetic Computation: Problems will involve fundamental operations and require paper-pencil computation.
- Mathematical Reasoning: These paper-and-pencil problems may involve multiple operations and concepts and require a high level of reasoning, such as story problems, patterns, puzzles, etc.
NEW for 2023-24: There will be three levels of Math Olympics competitions - Local, Divisional and National. Winners of the Math Olympics competitions at each Local competition will be invited to advance to a Divisional Math Olympics. The top winners of the Divisional Math Olympics will be invited to compete in the National Math Olympics.
For additional information, please contact a Student Leadership & Learning team member.
