Olympiad sample problems from Washington State:
These problems have been organized for you,
by difficulty, with the easiest problems listed first.
The first 6 problems are developmental and train the student
to approach
the problem and to investigate possible solutions, while
not being extremely difficult. Such problems allow the
coach/teacher to concentrate on the other aspects of problem
solution
that
5th and 6th graders typically find difficult: communicating
their thinking, examining more than 1 strategy, checking
their results.
