“By competing in these contests, our students hone their problem-solving skills while practicing teamwork,” said OVCA Head of School Audra Plummer. “We knew this would be an exciting opportunity for our students to push their mathematical boundaries, so we jumped at the chance to engage.”
The Math Olympiad contests brought together two teams of math Olympians from OVCA. Students encountered thought-provoking problems encouraging them to think abstractly, recognize patterns and consider innovative solutions.
This year, nearly 4,000 teams took part in MOEMS from across the country.
