Are there any eligibility requirements?
The competition is recommended for 4th and 5th graders, but open to all elementary school students.
What resources can my child use to prepare?
We recommend checking our past problems from similar competitions, such as Math Is Cool and the first 5-ish problems from the AMC 8.
What topics will be covered in the competition?
The competition will cover elementary algebra, geometry, combinatorics, and number theory.
What divisions are available?
We offer Math Masters and Numerical Novices. Math Masters is recommended for students with prior competition experience or advanced math proficiency.
How will teams be made?
If you did not select to have specific teammates on the registration form, or only selected one other student, we will be making the rest of your team for you with other competitors. We will be basing this off of school primarily, but if there are not enough students in one school, or it wasn’t listed on the form, teammates will be randomly assigned. If you have a team of 1 or 2 and do not wish to have additional teammates, send us an email.
Should parents be staying during the competition?
You are not required to stay during the competition, but we will be giving a presentation for interested parents about the summer math tutoring program we asked about on the registration form! Beyond that, you are welcome to volunteer to help us grade during the competition.
Does the competition cost any money?
Registration is completely free! However, this does mean the costs are coming out of club funds. For that reason, we ask that if you are willing, consider donating to our club! It will help us keep doing events like these annually. Please check the Information page for more details.
