National Math Competition

A combination of timed tests is given in a series of rounds in a digital format. The areas of competition include Arithmetic Computation (fundamental operations) and Mathematical Reasoning (may involve multiple operations and concepts and will require a high level of reasoning). Each student competes against other students in his or her grade and category nationwide. Those with the highest percentage of correct answers advance to the next round, culminating in international winners for grades 3-8 in Computation and Reasoning.

Level 1: The Foundations Round - In this initial stage, participants will tackle a diverse array of fundamental mathematical problems, testing their understanding of basic concepts and problem-solving abilities. To advance to the next level, students must achieve a minimum score demonstrating proficiency in foundational mathematical principles.

Level 2: The Advanced Round - Those who successfully navigate the Foundations Round will face even more complex challenges in the Advanced Round. Participants will need to demonstrate a deep understanding of advanced mathematical concepts and exhibit exceptional problem-solving prowess. Only those who meet the rigorous criteria for excellence will progress to the final stage.

Level 3: The Championship Round - The pinnacle of the International Math Challenge, the Championship Round is reserved for the most elite mathematicians. Here, participants will encounter the most demanding mathematical problems, requiring ingenuity, creativity, and precision to solve. Only the top performers from the Advanced Round will have the opportunity to compete at this level, where one student per grade level per category will be esteemed as the International Math Champion.
