Mathnasium of Chula Vista is thrilled to present our participation in this year's San Diego STEAM Maker Fest not just as participants, but as organizers of a STEAM challenge - the Mathnasium Math Olympiad Challenge! The rules are simple, and the competition is open to all students grades 3-5!
Mathletes from all over the county will be put to the test when they compete on stage in our first annual Math Olympiad Challenge presented by Mathnasium. Teams will be assigned random placement in a bracket of approximately 32 (depending on registrations) to compete on-stage, through 5 rounds of math challenges of increasing difficulty.
Two teams, at a time, will compete to advance to the final round – each round will be timed and a team can steal a question if the other team answers incorrectly or not at all. To advance, the winner must answer the most questions correctly for that competition round.
No paper, pencil calculator or other device or medium can be used other than your brain and the brains of your teammates.
This is the ULTIMATE Mental Math Challenge with a HUGE prize that will benefit all the students at a school of their choosing - as always, Mathnasium is dedicated to supporting our local schools and communities, and our Olympiad is no exception!
Don't dawdle, SD STEAM Maker Festival 2019 is coming up quickly on December 7, so sig up here and show off your math skills! https://sdmathletes.wufoo.com/forms/zbpah22118mm05/
