Maths Olympiad

The Maths Olympiad and Maths Games Competitions that Gioia House offers are programs where you complete a series of tests with five questions. These questions focus on different areas of mathematics using high standard word problems.

We enjoy Maths Olympiad and Maths Games because it’s a time when we can test ourselves and improve on the things we might be unaware of. It also increases our expectations on what we need to know and the strategies we can use to avoid overthinking the question. Maths Olympiad and Maths Games are beneficial events because it is easy to overthink and make the question harder for ourselves, when there’s a simple solution that we might not have noticed.

I enjoy doing Maths Olympiad and Maths Games but sometimes the questions are difficult. I then reread the question and work it out. Once I have worked out the first bit I really enjoy it and get more confident.

It is kind of hard but has some fun questions. It makes you think about all the pieces and how maths fits together. For example how learning about angles can help you when you are looking at complicated shapes and you can see how many angles go into making them.
