MCES Foundation is excited to support our mathletes again this year by hosting the Noetic Math Contests for our math inclined Second and Third grade students . Morning Creek has registered two teams, one team for 2nd grade and one team for 3rd grade, consisting maximum of 30 students each. The students in grades 2 and 3 have been invited to participate based on student scores and teacher recommendations. The parent permission slip for the Spring contest will be distributed in February. Participation is by invitation only.
Fall Contest: November 9, 2023
Spring Contest: April 18, 2023
The contests will be conducted on campus during school hours.
The Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC) is a semiannual problem solving contest for elementary and middle school students. The goal of the competition is to develop students' problem solving skills, to inspire them to excel in math, and convey the message ‘It is COOL to be good at math!’ to students.
During the contest, students are given 45 minutes to solve 20 problems. Many problems are designed to challenge students and to enrich their problem solving experiences.
