Squawky Acres Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) We have a mix of public school and homeschool friends/accelerated learners in grades 2-5 who are interested in meeting a few times a month for a math club or math competition. We have already done Crazy 8s through Bedtime Math, which was wonderful; but the kids would like something a little bit more rigorous. Is there something available that would provide some structure for a reasonably intelligent but not especially mathy parent to run -- or something we could run through our local elementary school?

Dmmetler Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Continental Math League would work well. I used it for a similar group for years. If you have less than a full team at a given grade level, contact them and they'll let you register kids as individuals at a reduced rate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squawky Acres Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 (edited) Thanks. Continental Math League looks very inclusive in the grade levels, but I am trying to figure out how much support and materials would be offered to a coordinator. It looks like all they have are some books of practice problems from past years, but I don't know if that would be enough to guide me in getting a math club started. Math Olympiad looks very good and seems to have some more structure to it -- but it is just for 4th grade and up. I may look into that more, as most of our interest in a math club comes from a group of 4th graders (and my very determined 2nd grade daughter).

Dmmetler Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 I used MOEMS materials for my math club, but the CML exams, plus various other stuff. This is my first year not running a math club, in fact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
