Mathnasium's TriMathlon is a math competition for 3rd through 6th grade students, held at Mathnasium Learning Centers across the country. The competition consists of three events which focus on various mathematical concepts typically studied at each grade level. The three events are:
Magic Squares
Students are awarded points for developing their own math problems.
The Counting Game
Tests the students' ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number.
Mental Math Workout
Tests the students' Number Sense by asking them to solve problems without pencil and paper.
Any student in 3rd through 6th grade in public, private, or home school in the United States is eligible to participate. Students do not need to be Mathnasium customers. Participants may compete in one competition in their grade level or higher.
All students receive goodie bags and certificates of participation. The top three scorers in each grade receive 1st, 2nd and 3rd place medals.
National TriMathlon winners are selected from the top three scorers from all participating centers and receive additional prizes.
