Math Contests

(Grades 2 - 6 only)

Contest Registration will open by October 1

Please use the documents below to see what contests are happening for this year. There is an overview by month AND a dates & deadlines version which has specific dates for:

1) registration (signing up to participate in a contest so you get rostered)

2) administrating (when you will take the contest)

Check back throughout the year as each month, more details about that month's contests will be updated.

Rostering deadlines will be approximately 2 weeks before each contest to give us sufficient time to upload and set up the user ID's and passwords for all participants.

Every month, specific details about that month's contests are added to the "Dates & Detailed Math Contest Calendar" in Google Classroom Students should view the schedule for that month, including days and times. ONLY teachers and students may sign-ups for a proctoring time slot.

Process

Please read the sections below to understand the TWO STEP PROCESS for participating in math contests. Math contests are available beginning in Grade 2.

STEP 1: Contest Registration (Signing up)

You must use the google form link below to register for all math contests. Parents, teachers and students may sign students up for contests. Parent permission is not required. SIGN UP/REGISTRATION = PARTICIPATION = BEING ROSTERED

This form will be open all year, however, once a registration deadline has passed for each contest, any entries after that date for that contest will not be honored (even though the google form may allow you to choose that contest and submit).

The reason is that removing questions from the google form mid-year will interfere with the data on the related response sheet where submissions are stored, impacting the rostering of all future contests.

NO ONE NEEDS TO SIGN UP WITH ANY CONTEST SITE or pay any money as River Edge has already purchased licenses for these contests directly.

Parents please tell your child if you signed them up to participate in a math contest. Last year, we had some students who didn't know or forgot and then never signed up for a time slot to come take the contest.

Not open yet! LIVE BY OCT 1

STEP 2: Taking a Contest (choosing a day & time slot to take the contest with Mrs. Hafers)

If you have REGISTERED using the google form above by the registration deadline posted on the calendar, then you will be ROSTERED for that contest. You are now ready for STEP 2.

Step 2 means picking a day and time (a "proctor" slot) WHEN you will come to Mrs. Hafers's physical room, sit in a chair and take the contest.
Each month, a schedule is posted in the Math Competitions google classroom listing all the dates and times for that month's contest(s). There are also SIGN UP sheets to reserve your spot for each contest on those days.
Only students and teachers can edit that month's PROCTOR SLOT SIGN UP SHEET in the google classroom (under Calendar, Registration & Test Slots). The number of slots for each time is determined by the amount of seats Mrs. Hafers physically has in her classroom.
Anyone absent on the day of the contest should contact Mrs. Hafers directly for a make up or simply move their name to another open slot if there are any available and the contest window is still open.

If you only sign up for a proctor slot but never registered, you will not be able to actually participate in the contest. Rostering is only done from the Google registration form as user id's and passwords need to be generated for most contests.

I encourage all students to sign up and try at least one contest each year. The best way to improve is by practice and your results are not reflected on your report card or have any impact here at school. They are simply personal challenges for YOU, the student.

GOOD LUCK!
