Tests students’ ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number.
Magic Squares Challenge
Students are awarded points for developing their own math problems.
Mental Math Workout
Tests students’ number sense by asking them to solve problems without pencil and paper.
Questions become increasingly more difficult as the event progresses.

Participants receive a fun goody bag and a certificate of participation and earn money for local schools. The top three scorers in each grade level at each center will receive additional medals and prizes.

For more information, view the TriMathlon FAQs and the Official TriMathlon Rules.

Supporting Local Schools

All TriMathlon participants raise money for local schools just by attending the event. Local centers will donate money earned by their students to the school of their choice.
