Following on from the success of 2020, The Maths Week 2021 Olympiad is an innovative event held in collaboration with Living Maths in South Africa. Its primary focus is to empower teachers and learners to find creative and concrete ways to help improve the standard of Maths in schools. We realise the importance of encouraging as many learners as possible to have a positive experience with maths so that they continue to make maths a subject choice as they go through their education. We are delighted to be working with Living Maths; a member of ASTEMI.co.za – the official body that represents STEM competitions in South Africa.

We have two sets of papers; for Northern Ireland and for the Republic. The Olympiad includes question papers for all classes primary and secondary. This is the only Olympiad of its kind (in the world) to cater for the foundation phase. The papers consist of 20 questions and 5 bonus questions. Every learner that takes part will receive a certificate (either bronze, silver or gold included in the online folder) for achieving marks from 1-20 out of 20. Any marks higher than 20 will receive a platinum certificate.
