Why participate in mathleague.org contests?

Because our contests are awesome! There are certain important things that every math contest should do, and equally important things that every math contest should avoid. Whether or not you’ve given these much thought, we have! At mathleague.org, we have been working for more than 25 years to design the optimal math contest. We have borrowed some great ideas from a wide variety of math contests, and we have improved on what we felt didn’t work so well at those same contests. The end result is what you see here. Our contests feature:

• Online testing opportunities.
• Commitment to our students.
• Commitment to mathematical integrity.
• Educational value.
• Fun social opportunities.
• Prompt results.
• Motivating rewards.

Middle School Program

The core of the mathleague.org middle school program consists of a series of contests held throughout the school year, culminating in a National Championship in the US and other select countries. Problems and contest formats in our middle school contests are designed to also prepare middle school students for the MATHCOUNTS competition series.

Top-scoring students in qualifying rounds are invited to compete in their State or National Championship. Winners of each State Championship in the US are invited to compete in the US National Middle School Championship at the end of the school year.
