Math Challenge Tournament®
What is it?
Math Challenge Tournament® is an annual National Mathematics tournament open to Grade 2 – 5 students. Students in Grade 1 can participate, however, they will be competing at a grade 2 Division 2 level.
This tournament is open to students in all 50 states. Last year, thousands of students from various states (WA, CA, NY, MD, TN, NC, AZ, CT, PA, RI, MO, etc.) participated in this online tournament. Its always amazing to see student's focus, excitement and energy of the Mathletes on this tournament. Check out some of the photos from previous MCT (2019 and earlier) here.
Why should my student participate?
Math Challenge Tournament provides a valuable and fun opportunity for our young students to show case their skills in a variety of math topics. We strongly believe that exposing students to healthy competitions early encourages them to reach their full potential. We hope that students will take advantage of this opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned and to showcase their problem-solving abilities.
Type of questions
We carefully designed and selected math problems with two focuses in mind: math fundamental and problem solving skills. Our goal is to motivate students to do the best they can in both skills. Through this tournament, we would like to recognize students' overall talent and potential while providing them with standardized test taking experience.
Sample Problems
