MATH LEAGUE=
Annual Math League Contests The Math League has Math Contests for Grades 4 throug=

High School Students, and Algebra 1 students. Over 1 million students from

The goal is to encourage student interest and confide=
nce in
mathematics through solving worthwh=
ile problems.
Many students first develop an interest in mathematics through
problem-solving activities such as these contests. Schools compete in
statewide or multistage league competitions. 6th, 7th, and 8th Grade Contests Math League's 6th, 7th, and 8th grade contests challe=

students and schools in interschool league competitions. Students in each
league compete for the highest scores, while schools compete for the high=

team score: the total of the top 5 scores in each school. Each contest's
questions cover material appropriate to each grade level. Questions may
cover: basic topics, plus exponents, fractions, reciprocals, decimals, ra=
tes,
ratios, percents, angle measurement, perimeter, area, circumference, basic
roots, patterns, sequences, integers, triangles and right triangles, and
other topics, depending on the grade level. Detailed solution sheets
demonstrate the methods used to solve each problem. These contests encour=

a variety of problem-solving skills and methods, to improve students' abi=

and understanding of mathematical connections, while having fun! Contest For=

contest consists of 40 multiple-choice questions that you can do in 30
minutes. On each 3-page contest, the questions on the 1st page are genera=

straightforward, those on the 2nd page are moderate in difficulty, and th=

on the 3rd page are more difficult. There is a 6th Grade Score Report, an=

no limit for the number of students to participate in this competition. We
will encourage all of our students to compete in this competition. |
