How to prepare?
Solving sample questions from Math Kangaroo, American/International Math Contests and other competitive exams for their grade level will help the students prepare well for Simonds Math Olympics.
It's a challenging test requiring good preparation. It's important that the kids work together as a team to solve the questions, as it would be very difficult for one kid to solve all the questions in the given time.

What to expect in the competition?
Simonds Math olympics touches on logic, number theory, combinatorics, geometry, word problems and other math concepts taught at school. The goal for the Math Olympics is to expose students to questions asked in math competitions, team building, and speed of problem solving.
Sample logic questions:
[Grade 3] John can read 4 books a day. He reads every Monday and Tuesday. How many books would he read in 6 weeks?
[Grade 4] Mary got hungry after work. She went to a coffee shop in the mall and bought a mug of coffee that cost $2.30 and 2 croissants that cost $1.20 each. If she had $10.50 in her pocket to begin with, how much money would she have left?
[Grade 5] At the fun fair, the pony rides take about 1/6 of an hour to finish. If there are 3 ponies and 24 kids in front of Emma, how long does Emma need to wait before it is her turn for the pony ride?
