Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools (MOEMS) is a worldwide math competition, organized by a not for profit foundation with the same name.
It is held yearly from November through March with one test administered each month.
First set up in 1977 by founder George Lenchner (1917–2006), MOEMS became a public competition in 1979.
[2] Lenchner, who died after decades in service to the math education community, wrote several books on elementary problem solving used by many MOEMS teachers and students.
[3] The current MOEMS Director is Richard Kalman who also worked with the American Regions Mathematics League for many years.
