Spirit of Math Contest — United States

The International Spirit of Math® Contest in the United States is run directly by Spirit of Math®. It is open to ALL students in Grades 1–8 — whether or not they study at Spirit of Math® — and schools register online.

Students write at their own school — no travel needed — and every writer receives a certificate. Top performers earn a place on the National Honour Roll and an invitation to the Global Round in Toronto.
