Mathematics or commonly known as Maths helps to develop logical and critical thinking. But broadly speaking, mathematic is the science that deals with shapes, arrangements, numbers, and their operations. 

Why Mathematics?

You might be wondering, why do we need to study mathematics in so depth, even if know the basic operations of numbers. But here’s a short figure, illustrating how mathematics can be useful to your daily life. 

We understand many students don’t like this subject. But getting into the roots as to why it’s their unfavorite, we have found several insights. 

  • Finds it boring 
  • Difficult to understand 
  • Lack of confidence in solving 
  • Is Tough! 

But if we get into the root to as of why are these problems, the problem was with FOUNDATION. For anything to grow and excel, you need to make its base strong. This is not adequate for many students who don’t like maths subjects. And here the entire game lies. Between the students who like and the ones who don’t like. The only difference is trying for attempts. Getting up, preparing, and trying. That’s all you need.

And if you really want to give a headstart, competitive exams are the best. One of which is the IMO International Math Olympiad organized by SOF Science olympiad foundation. 

So, now that you might have got half convinced that how mathematics can help you, let’s get into the topic of how you can prepare for the Class 6 Maths Olympiad. 

What is Math Olympiad?

The International Maths Olympiad or commonly known as IMO, is a competitive exam conducted by Science Olympiad Foundation (SOF), for pre-university students, with an aim to develop an interest amongst students in mathematical skills and improve the same. IMO was founded in 1977 and it conducts exams for students of grade 4 to grade 8. And depending upon the score achieved by students, they are rewarded with certificates, prizes, kinds, etc. 

About the test

The test consists of multiple-choice questions. And the difficulty level is relatively complex as compared to the school academic syllabus. However, if studied properly by understanding the concepts, any student can easily crack it. And once the confidence level boosts amongst the children, there’s no going back. 

Since its establishment, China has been the most successful country in this Olympiad with 168 gold medals. It is seconded by the United States of America with 137 Gold medals. India however has the lower rank of 15 in this Olympiad. Participating in is Olympiad is a great addition to the portfolio of a student, ranking well in the first 3 levels can help a student secure scholarships and cash prizes. This Olympiad tests many skills of a student, such as cognitive thinking, numeric ability, tables and simple calculus.

The idea behind starting this Olympiad was to encourage friendly competition between students when it was first held in Romania in 1959. Although the syllabus is easy for students in class 7, the syllabus, as well as the competition, intensifies for higher classes. It reaches up to a point where the syllabus involves complex chapters such as projective geometry, functional equations, combinatorics and number theory.
