The Noetic Learning Math Contest (NLMC) is a semiannual problem-solving contest for elementary and middle school students.

We believe that problem-solving helps students to become better mathematicians, better thinkers, therefore better equipped for advanced STEM learning. The goal of our contest is to develop students' problem-solving skills, to encourage their interest in math, and to inspire them to excel in math.

During the contest, students have 45 minutes to solve 20 creative problems independently without a calculator.
