Addition and subtraction are the backbone of Class 2 Math Olympiad (SOF IMO). At Bronze level, questions test speed with two-digit and three-digit sums. Silver questions present word problems — a child might count money, books or stickers across two steps. Gold questions require holding three or four numbers in mind at once, often with hidden information that must be worked out before the final calculation. The five questions below follow that exact progression.
