MOEMS (Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools)

Once every month for 5 months, the student will be given 1 question paper with 5 questions to be completed within 30 minutes. The tests are administered on campus and calculators are NOT permitted.
Awards are given at the end of the 5 months based on the score out of 25 questions total.
Students will take the Division M Tests (problems up to 8th grade level).
