mathleague.org is pleased to announce that it will be hosting a junior high math contest on February 11, 2010. Testing will consist of Sprint, Target, Team and Countdown rounds. The contest will be held at Santa Ana College in Santa Ana, and the cost will be $10 per student. The approximate schedule will be as follows:
- 1:00 Check in
- 1:30 Testing begins
- 4:00 Break
- 4:30 Countdown round and awards
Santa Ana College is located at 1530 West 17th Street in Santa Ana; a map is available here. Testing will be held in room A-210; visitor parking is available along 17th Street.
Prizes will be given to the top students in each grade level, as well as to the top teams. mathleague.org will also be donating a portion of the proceeds to the Red Cross to help with earthquake relief efforts in Haiti! To find out more about how you can help in this effort click here. Students are expected to bring their own pencils and calculators; students may bring a lunch if they wish, but lunch will also be available for purchase on site.
Every group of up to 24 students that registers for the contest must be accompanied by an adult sponsor who is willing to help proctor or grade tests (this sponsor should be designated on the registration form). Parents can register individual students and serve as sponsors if necessary, but we recommend that parents check to see if there is anyone else at the school who is planning to attend before registering an individual student.
CLICK HERE TO REGISTER NOW! NOTE: REGISTRATION DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 9.
Practice tests are available for purchase at the mathleague.org store if you would like to prepare for the contest (one set of tests is available for free download at that link as well). Further questions can be directed to mathleague@mathleague.org or 877-872-5244. We look forward to seeing you on February 11!
[Apologies for the late notice and the weekday afternoon timing; the opportunity to hold this contest presented itself only recently, and we decided to take advantage of this chance to provide a contest for the mathletes of Southern California. The timing of the contest should allow most students to attend at least half a day of school on the 11th as well.]
