MathRocks! is a six-contest series for students in grades 1 through 12. Each contest has 4 individual rounds that vary in length and problem types, with some problems being familiar, some that are familiar concepts but presented in a new way, and some that will expose them to new math ideas altogether. Participants are then placed with 2-3 other students to participate in a team round where they can work together on challenging problems to help grow their ability to work within a team. Contests are not about testing mastery but about improving understanding of foundational math while developing logic and problem-solving skills.

The next MathRocks! contest is on February 4, 2023. The University of Nevada Reno’s College of Engineering hosts local students and there is an option for students to participate online if they live more than a one-hour drive away, are sick or in quarantine, or similar reasons. Registration for guaranteed spots is open until 9am on Wednesday, January 25, 2023. At that time, registrations will only be accepted as spots are available. Registrations is $20 with a discount when registering more than 7 days in advance.

MathRocks! is sponsored by the Economic Development Association of Western Nevada (EDAWN).

If your child is not able to participate in any of our programs due to your current financial situation, please email Sherry@NNVMath.org regarding available financial assistance.

21st Century Competition Club Competition Team CTDP Math Club Programs

Off to a Great Start

Sep 3, 2022 nnvmath 0 Comment

I’m amazed at how fast time is flies. Kids are back in school and settling into their routines, which means it’s time for NNVMath programs to get started.

If you didn’t receive our inaugural newsletter, you can access it here: 2022 September Newsletter (nnvmath.org) – Huge THANK YOU to Evan for all his work on getting it done!

You can ensure you receive our newsletters in the future by updating your email preference (hint: if you just want limited emails, select General Monthly Updates). You can update your preferences here: Contact Info (office.com)

Last week, we started our programs with 21st Century and the kids were great! It was fun to see how much they’ve grown over the summer. This upcoming week a number of program start:

After School Math Club – This is revival of a pre-pandemic program we ran. Kids will do activities, games, crafts, etc. that develop their foundational math skills but don’t feel like “math” as many kids think of it. It starts Wednesday, Sept. 7.
Competition Math Club – Think of this as a junior version of our Competition Team Development Program. It is for students in grades 1-6, divided between 2 sessions based on their ability to do double digit multiplication. Priority is given to those who are registered for the MathRocks! series. This program will review problems after each MathRocks! and include instruction. First session meets Saturday, Sept. 10. The first 2 sessions will cover the rules for the various round, do practice rounds, and discuss strategy. These first 2 are all about getting them ready for the Sept 24th MathRocks! contest.
Competition Team Development Program (CTDP) – 13 seasons ago, I went to ARML as a parent and this is my 11th year holding practices and taking kids to Vegas (talk about time flying). The program has grown and changes have been made along the way, but it is essentially the same and it is what instigated the creation of NNVMath and every other program we run. You can find more information by clicking the CTDP tab in the top menu bar. First practice is on Sept 11 and is an info session and mixer for the kids. It will go from 2 until 4:30pm.

Registration for the above is still open. Just go to https://MyNNVMath.org and create an account if you don’t already have one.

My hope for a number of years has been to post here regularly and, now that we have some amazing staff (see the newsletter mentioned above if you don’t know what I’m talking about), I think it may become a reality. Some of the posts will be functional but, hopefully, most will not as that can be really boring if it isn’t the information you are really wanting at the moment:) ~ Sherry
