Math
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. |
