Math Olympiads
The class is called Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary Schools (MOES). The class provides students opportunities 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 goals for students are to:
1. 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 at this age, and
4. enrich experiences in intellectually stimulating and significant mental activities.
