Math olympiads team | grades 4 - 6
Math Olympiads
Weekly evening coaching at our Innovation Hub that trains kids to solve problems they've never seen before, then compete in all five rounds of the national MOEMS Math Olympiad.
Where problem solvers become champions
how we train
Four habits, practiced every week
Olympiad problems use math, kids already know, hidden inside puzzles. Winners aren't the kids who know more. They're the ones who read carefully and don't freeze.
Read
Underline the question, circle the numbers, and box trap words like "not" and "including."
The toolkit
Eight strategies kids master
Draw It
Guess, check, refine
Make a list
Simpler problem
Find the pattern
Number sense
Work Backwards
Logic tables
Every mistake gets an "autopsy": kids find out whether they misread, picked the wrong plan, slipped on arithmetic, ran out of time or skipped the check. Then they fix that habit, not just that problem. Every session ends with our favorite award: Best Wrong Answer.
