Math Olympics Rules andRegulations (taken from the ABSH

Members Handbook)

Brief Description The objective of this activity is to promote the interest of students

and schools in the different areas of mathematics covered in the;high school curriculum this would be achieved by means of

.celebrating a Math Olympics competition on a yearly basis

In this competition each participating school can participate with20 -one team of up to three students to answer a multiple choice

question exam in each of the seven categories described below

. , - ,equivalent in other brands The Basic Math Pre Algebra and.Algebra I participants are NOT allowed to use calculators at all

Participants

:Students are eligible to participate if

1. The school has paid the annual membership fees of the.Association If a school participates and has not paid these

,fees its participation shall be nullified by the ABSH on this.particular tournament
