Broccoli asked if there are things like Math Bees

So, I told him, not exactly, but there are math competitions, and he was like "yeah!". So, I googled Math Kangaroo... and their registration deadline was Dec 31st.  :banghead:

 

Since I know a bunch of you are into these kinds of things, someone please correct me if I'm misinterpreting that (the contest is not until March 15), or with ideas for alternatives. I had no idea that he was interested in stuff like that... I'd asked the kids like a year ago, and neither was interested in stuff like that then. For those who can't read my sig - he turned 7 in November and is officially in 2nd grade by NY cut-offs.

CML has already started. But, you could run a mock CML at home for him this year - CML has old test series question papers available on their website for purchase. If he is interested, then, you can sign him up for next year - though, it is a written test along the lines of Math Kangaroo and not a Math Bee [emoji4]

Most Math Contests for his age group are listed here:

We have done Triathlon, Math Kangaroo and Math Counts at that age, and all of them were fun for my child, though Trimathlon seems to be unavailable this year.

 

 

ETA: depending on your location, you can see if you can take him to attend the Julia Robinson Math festival
