2025 Math Olympiad
Olympiad club aspirants are requested to sign up here by August 27th 2025!!
What is Math Olympiad?
Math Olympiad for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) is a large and popular mathematics competition for students in grades 4 through 8. Nearly 80,000 students take part in Division E which is meant for grades 4 through 6. The goal of MOEMS is to expose children to elementary methods of mathematical problem solving and learn the art of critical thinking.
Five contests are held each year and the dates fall in the administration window seen below.

Here are some details about the tests used within the contests:
- Tests consist of five non-routine problems and have a time limit of 30 minutes.
- Every problem requires careful mathematical thinking.
- Students work alone, scoring 1 point for each correct answer.
- Thus, a student may score up to 25 points per year.
- Calculators, rulers, graph paper, and other aids or resources are not permitted.
- Problems introducing more advanced concepts include all necessary definitions.
- The top 10 scores from the team are considered for team award.
Why is it fun (and good for students 😊)?
Through the Math Olympiad Club students will learn strategies commonly used to solve math problems. This will help build their logical and critical-thinking muscle and make them sharper. If your child loves solving complex problems, loves discussing math with their friends or wants to get better at problem solving, then the Math Olympiad Club is for them!
There are many awards to be won by teams and individuals through MOEMS that we as a club can celebrate with a season-end party in 2026.
SWE MOEMS Div E team, 2025-26
How do you join the club?
Per MOEMS rules, a team can have up to 35 students. At Spicewood, the Math Olympiad club will form 2 teams if there are more than 25 students, from grades 4 and 5, who express interest. For starters, we encourage parents to have their kids solve this ‘Math Olympiad Sample Contest Div E’. Olympiad club aspirants are requested to sign up here by August 27th, 2025.
Weekly club meetings will be held on campus, every Wednesday in the Inquiry Lab from 2:45 - 3:45 pm. While SWE Div E team will comprise of current 4th & 5th graders, we strongly encourage 3rd graders to attend weekly meetings for preparation. Trials will be held in September 2025, where the club will work on math problems and supporting materials for 2 weeks. At the end of 2 weeks of trials, there will be a qualifier test. A student who meets the cut-off score on qualifier will be part of the SWE Div E team. The club will register them with MOEMS for the 2024-25 competition season.
