This year Maywood Hills PTA is facilitating the Math Challenge Tournament in our school! It is a great opportunity to participate in a country-wide competition, without the pressure of being assessed, since that is not a part of the school curriculum.
The Tournament is open to grade 2 - 5 students. 1st grade students can participate, however they will be competing at a grade 2 level.
Tournament Details
Location: Maywood Hills Elementary gym

A few things to note:
Tournament Fee: $25 per student. The fee is non-refundable and non-transferable. 20% of it will go back to our PTA, to support the math program.
This tournament is in-person only and not available online. We will need a few proctor volunteers.
If you need to request changes (i.e. division, name, etc.) after registration, you can submit a Change Request at: https://www.ellipsisacademy.com/mct-change-request.html.
Once you've registered, you will immediately receive an email confirmation containing additional information. If you didn't see the confirmation email, please check your spam folder.
Last day to register & submit change requests is March 4, 2025.
During registration, Level means grade (e.g. grade 3 = level 3). Most students will use Division 2. Division 1 is for students enrolled in accelerated programs, like EAP, or studying math at least 1 grade above their grade level.
All participants receive a keepsake and a ribbon. Students who end up in the top 10% in their grade level and division will receive medals. There is also a special prize for the best scorers in each category.

An email with a detailed schedule (check-in time, what to expect, pick-up time, etc.) will be sent to all registered families after the registration closes.
