OLYMPIAD TRAINING PROGRAMME

The Mathematics Olympiad Training programme aims to identify talented mathematical minds and develop their talent through a series of assignments. The participants learn mathematical problem-solving techniques and interesting mathematical concepts, which will also help them to prepare for the different rounds of the South African Mathematics Olympiad (SAMO).

The Training Programme consists of a free distance learning programme. The Beginner and Intermediate levels are open to anyone, while the Advanced level is only open to learners who have attended the annual SAMF Olympiad camp in December.

The Olympiad Training Programme is organised and coordinated by the South African Mathematics Foundation (SAMF).

The results of the Olympiad Training Programme and other SAMF programmes are used to select the South African teams for the International Mathematical Olympiad and Pan African Mathematics Olympiad. The participants learn mathematical problem-solving techniques and interesting mathematical concepts, which will also help them to prepare for the different rounds of the South African Mathematics Olympiad (SAMO).

Grade 7 to 12 learners.

The programme is a distance learning programme that also involves mathematical camps during the school holidays. Learners are given assignments and tests during the programme.

There is no cost involved.
