# 🧠 HOW TO SOLVE OLYMPIAD QUESTIONS

Don't rush to choose an option.

Use this simple method:

### STEP 1
Read the question carefully.

### STEP 2
Identify what information is given.

### STEP 3
Identify what needs to be found.

### STEP 4
Choose the correct mathematical operation or concept.

### STEP 5
Solve step-by-step.

### STEP 6
Check whether your answer makes sense.

# 👨👩👧 PARENT TIP

Instead of immediately giving the answer, ask:

"What information is given?"

"What do you need to find?"

"Which mathematical concept can you use?"

"Can you solve it another way?"

This encourages mathematical thinking rather than memorisation.
