This year, we had 58 students take the qualification exam this past Tuesday for the 35 positions on the team. We are proud of every student that has come out the past 3 weeks and put in their time, energy, and brain power to try out for the team.
Congratulations to the Oak Hills 2024-2025 Math Olympiad Team!!!
Competition #3 Update
We are back in the groove and are now officially in the second half of the Math Olympiad season as we have completed three of the five competitions. In general, it seems the competitions this year are a bit harder than years past. This one seemed to be the most challenging one yet, but the students are all stepping up and giving it their best. Despite the overall average being on the lower side, we still had 4 students achieve a perfect score of all 5 problems correct. And yes, we still have one student who remains perfect for the year! The overall average was 2.1. Here are the results per grade:
Here is the overall distribution of scores and the per-problem breakdown:
Competition #2 Update
This past competition on December 17, 2024, was one of the hardest we've had. We had a lot of students seeing success in the first three problems, but the last two were very challenging, especially the last one. In fact, in this, my fourth year of leading the Math Olympiad, this was the first competition where not a single student finished early. We had only one student attain a perfect score. And to her credit, she is the only remaining student to be perfect for the year thus far. The overall average was 2.5. Here are the results per grade:

Competition #1 Update
On November 19, 2024, the team participated in its first Math Olympiad competition of the year. While it probably felt daunting to the first-time students (especially 4th-graders), the team did great! We had four students achieve a perfect score of 5 points. And more impressively, nine students had 4 problems correct! The overall average was 3.0. Here are the results per grade:
Here is the overall distribution of scores (how many people got how many points) as well as the per-problem breakdown:
Love Math?
Oak Hills provides the opportunity for students who excel at Math to have a chance to compete using their Mathematics skills!
Students get to participate in the Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS). They get the opportunity to problem solve and strengthen their understanding of math concepts!
OHEF helps fund this after school math program by paying for the MOEMS registration.
Schedule: Tuesdays 2:30pm-3:30pm in the Science Lab Check our Calendar for Math Olympiad events!
Thank you Mr. Scopio & all the parent volunteers who make this program possible!
