Math Olympiad Information
A Celebration of Mathematics for Grades 5-8 Students

The Washington State Middle School Math Olympiad is a state wide team based competition where each team competes against itself to gain as many points as possible. Teams are recognized for having achieved at the levels superior, excellent very good or good in each of six components: a long session problem, and five short session problems in the content areas Number Sense, Probability and Statistics, Measurement, Geometric Sense, and Algebraic Sense. A record of each team’s achievement is recorded on a math Olympiad Certificate. Teams take home with them contest memorabilia, their certificates, their work for later review, and results for the site where they competed. (Math Olympiad problems are aligned with the Washington state ...)
