Xenia Community Schools Math Challenge

The XCS math challenge consists of a series of 30 math problems divided up over the course of six weeks to be answered by XCS students in grades 2-8 beginning the week of February 24th and culminating the week of March 31st.  Students will submit their answers through Google Forms. They will earn points for attempting the problems as well as for acquiring the correct answers (up to 6 points per question).  As students earn points, they can earn prizes. To culminate the math challenge, any student who completes all of the math problems in the challenge will have their entry fee paid for the National Noetic Math Contest held at McKinley Elementary on Saturday, April 5th from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m.

Questions will be released on Monday mornings by 8:30 a.m. All answers are due from the previous week by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday night. There will be 5 questions released each week.

Students who attempt all of the math problems throughout the six week challenge will receive a prize pack at the end of the challenge. They will also be entered into the raffle for the grand prize of an ultimate math game package.

Students who take the Noetic Math Test have the opportunity to earn the following prizes per grade level category:

      First Place: $50 gift card

Second Place: $25 gift card

    Third Place: $10 gift card

In the event of a tie, there will be a drawing for the gift card.

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.
