• To provide for the satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenges

Your school's math club meets weekly for an hour. Club members explore a topic or strategy in depth, using Creative Problem Solving in School Mathematics (or other sources), or they practice for the contests, using nonroutine problems from both Math Olympiad Contest Problems Volume 2 or Mathematical Olympiads Contest Problems for Elementary and Middle Schools (or other sources).

The highlights for students are the five monthly contests, given from November to March. No traveling is required.  These contests provide an incentive for students to intensify their study of math.

Created in 1977 by Dr. George Lenchner, an internationally known math educator, the Math Olympiads went public in 1979. Last year 150,000 students from 5,000 teams worldwide participated in the Olympiads. All 50 states and 25 other countries were represented.

Choose from two grade appropriate divisions (4-6 and 7-8). For teams with a US, Mexican, or Canadian postal code the rate for those using the mails is $99 while the ONLINE rate is $89. For other foreign teams, the rate is $150 for mail or $125 for ONLINE delivery. For this rate, the sponsor receives:

• All 25 problems and detailed solutions from the previous year. New enrollees receive 50 problems and solutions from the previous two years.
• 5 monthly contests with detailed solutions.
• 8 newsletters that lead the sponsor through all procedures, provide statistics and relevant information.
• Certificates for all students and awards for about 50% of all participating students and about 25% of all teams.
