Ontario Mathematics Olympiad

The Ontario Mathematics Olympiad, (OMO) is a fun, challenging mathematics competition for grade seven and grade eight students. It is usually held in the first week of June. The students are required to solve questions based on the grade seven and grade eight Ontario mathematics curriculum. Some questions are to be answered individually while other questions require a team approach. Students must demonstrate their understanding of the mathematical concepts and their ability to solve problems and to communicate their knowledge in various applied situations.

The host community also arranges various social activities, which give the students a taste of the local culture and traditions of the area. It is an educational experience that students remember for many years.

The Provincial OMO chair is DAVID PETRO (david_petro@wecdsb.on.ca). For local information, contact your OMO co-ordinator, in your local chapter:
