About the TriMathion and Mathnasium (from their website)
The TriMathlon is designed to generate excitement about math by challenging children's mathematical thinking skills as well as their ability to compute in a fun environment.
Mathnasium's TriMathlon is a math competition for 3rd through 6th grade students that will be held at Mathnasium Learning Centers across the country on Saturday May 14, 2011. The competition consists of three events which focus on various mathematical concepts typically studied at each grade level. The three events are:
Magic Squares Practice Tests
Students are awarded points for creativity in developing their own math problems.
The Counting Game Practice Tests
Tests the students' ability to count from any number, to any number, by any number.
Mental Math Workout Practice Tests
Tests the students' Number Sense by asking them to solve problems without pencil and paper.
Any student in 3rd through 6th grade in public, private, or home school in the United States is eligible to participate. Students do not need to be Mathnasium customers. Participants may compete in one competition in their grade level or higher.
