The Olympiad goals for children are for them 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, and 4. Enrich experiences in intellectually stimulating and significant mental activities. During Math Club Your child will practice regularly for five monthly **on-line** Olympiad contests. Children who want to compete must attend Math Club regularly. Excused absences include: track out time, school absences, and safety patrol. Your encouragement and recognition of the importance of the Olympiad goals will help your child enjoy the Olympiad program as well as make progress in becoming a problem solver. Please visit the Math Olympiad website at: http://www.moems.org/index.htm. If you have questions regarding Math Club or would like to help, please call Mrs. Bolte or email: kbolte@wcpss.net
