Math Olympiads

⭐ Registration is now open for all interested 4th and 5th graders until October 12. Use this form to register. Spots are limited, and registration does not guarantee acceptance. Confirmation of acceptance or placement on the waitlist will be emailed to parents by Friday, October 17.⭐ 

If your 4th or 5th grader enjoys challenging math problems and has fun solving number puzzles then Math Olympiads is for them! It's a fun-filled program to foster mathematical creativity and teach strategies for out-of-the-box problem-solving. It is offered by the non-profit public foundation Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools.

Students will work individually and in groups to solve challenging math word problems that require them to think creatively about how to understand and approach problems rather than just applying specific mathematical knowledge. Participants do not need to have any minimum level of mathematical ability. We only require that they are interested in math and self-motivated to take on challenging problems!

Example problems from past contests are available from the MOEMS website. We encourage you to review these problems with your student before registering to make sure they are motivated to step up to the challenge!

The 2025-26 Math Olympiads team at Seawell Elementary will meet every Thursday immediately after school until 3:45pm from November 6 to March 19. More details about the program structure, schedule, registration, and fees are available here.
