The Belize Math Olympiad is an exciting annual Mathematics contest for secondary school students, designed and sponsored by the Social Security Board to be a life changing experience for its participants and supporters. This competition allows students to compete at the BMO regional and national levels and benefits those who will sit the Mathematics Caribbean Secondary Examinations Certificate (CSEC) at the general level. The questions are selected from several areas of mathematics and are not only consistent with the topics and degree of difficulty in the national secondary school curricula, but also placed within the Belizean context to make them more relevant. The solutions require application of mathematical knowledge and skills parallel to the expected level of performance in the secondary school system. All questions used throughout the regional and National Competitions are consistent with the Mathematics CSEC Syllabus.
The competition is divided into three rounds, and includes provision for a tie breaker, should this become necessary to determine a place winner.
Each participating institution is represented by a team of four students - two juniors (1st and 2nd Form), and two seniors (3rd and 4th Form).
Each participating institution is required to have an alternate representative for each junior and senior team member. |
