Dear Students
We are thrilled to announce a series of exciting Math Competitions for Grades 5 to 8 that
will challenge your skills, ignite your creativity, and allow you to collaborate with your
peers! This is your chance to explore the world of Math through hands-on projects,
problem-solving races, and even robotics! Whether you're a budding engineer, a puzzle
enthusiast, or a math genius, there's something for everyone!

We invite you to participate in the following Math Competitions:

1) Create working models for Math concepts (Grades 5 to 8)

Grade-wise competition for grades 5 to 8


Team composition: Individual or team participation (up to 3 members per team)
Challenge: Design a working model that demonstrates a fundamental mathematical
concept, such as geometric shapes, symmetry, fractions, or measurement. Incorporating
elements of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) will earn
additional points.
Objective: Build a model that brings math to life through creativity and innovation.
