What Your Child Misses If They Don't Compete
This is more than a competition. Every child who sits it out misses a real, formative experience.
The thrill of solving under real time pressure
Homework math and competition math are not the same skill. Thinking fast under a ticking clock builds the kind of mental stamina that no worksheet can replicate. This is where your child learns to perform when it counts.
Real exposure to US National competitions
Their peers are already doing MATHCOUNTS and AMC. This is your child's first real stage — 25 carefully calibrated questions that mirror the most respected US National math competitions. They'll know what that feels like before it matters.
A Practice Problem Set that builds genuine ability
Every registrant receives the 98thPercentile Practice Problem Set — a curated set of competition-style problems with worked solutions, organized by grade. Miss the event, miss the set, miss the edge on every math test that follows.
A National Math Championship credential they can own
Every competing child earns an official participation certificate. Champions earn a titled "98thPercentile National Champion" credential — real academic recognition that follows your child forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this event really free? +
Yes — 100% free. No registration fee, no credit card, no hidden costs. Every registrant also receives the 98thPercentile Practice Problem Set and a 2-week free trial of any 98thPercentile program.
What grades can participate? +
Grades 3–8 residing in the United States. Group 1 (Grades 3–5): 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM CST. Group 2 (Grades 6–8): 12:30 – 2:00 PM CST. Own difficulty, own prizes, own champion per group.
My child isn't ready for competition math. Is this too advanced? +
That's exactly why the Championship exists — to give kids their first real exposure. The Practice Problem Set arrives 10 days before the event with worked solutions, so your child sees the problem style long before the day. Problems start accessible and build up gradually. And every registration includes 2 free trial weeks in any 98thPercentile program — so if they want to keep going after the event, the door is already open.
My child gets anxious on timed tests. Will this stress them out? +
The Championship is designed as a low-stakes confidence-builder. Each child works privately on their own screen — there's no public leaderboard, no one watching them struggle, no embarrassment if they get stuck. The Practice Problem Set arrives 10 days early so they can get comfortable with the format and pace long before the event. And every registered family wins something: every competing child earns a participation certificate, regardless of score.
What if my child freezes on hard word problems? +
Freezing on word problems is exactly what competition math is designed to fix. Unlike homework math (compute this), competition-style problems teach kids to read carefully, break down the setup, and judge whether their answer makes sense. The Practice Problem Set builds this skill directly — worked solutions show not just the answer but the thinking. By event day, your child knows the drill.
What does my child get to prepare? +
The 98thPercentile Practice Problem Set — a curated set of competition-style problems with fully worked solutions, organized by grade group. It lands in your inbox on May 20, ten days before the event. Register early to give your child maximum prep time.
