Dear Principals, HOD's, teachers, mathematicians and colleagues, The 2023 Living Maths Olympiad is finally here. All the relevant links to this Olympiad can be found below. All the South African schools are allowed to write from the 10th of October 2023 till the 24th of November 2023 and all the international schools (schools that are not in South Africa) will have until the 16th of December 2023 to write. Kindly note the instructions and dates for the South African schools are different to the International schools. Please read the sections that correctly apply to your school. This year we will be testing out a digital platform for a few grades that would like to take part online. The online platform will be ready in a few days and a separate email will be sent out regarding the instructions on how to access it. This platform will reduce admin time for teachers and allow us to speedily process the results. We are very excited to be testing it out this year with you.
