  • 10/28 to 04/20  2 Contest Saturday 9:00am-8:00pm $100/Annual Team Fee Oregon Math Circle ARML team meeting is hosting once a month on Saturdays See prorated tuition in shopping cart.

    We are sponsoring the Oregon Math Circle ARML team meetings, which take place once a month on Saturdays from October to March. The Annual Oregon Math Circle ARML teams' local competition will be hosted in April.

    The 2025 National ARML Competition will be held in May 2025. We anticipate opening registration in March 2025, with a registration deadline in late of April.

    The American Regions Mathematics League (ARML), is an annual, national high school mathematics team competition held simultaneously at four locations in the United States: the University of IowaPenn StateUniversity of Nevada, Reno, and the University of Alabama in Huntsville.[1] Past sites have included San Jose State UniversityRutgers UniversityUNLVDuke University, and University of Georgia.

    Teams consist of 15 members, which usually represent a large geographic region (such as a state) or a large population center (such as a major city). Some schools also field teams. The competition is held in June, on the first Saturday after Memorial Day.

    In 2022, 120 teams competed with about 1800 students.[2]

    ARML problems cover a wide variety of mathematical topics including algebrageometrynumber theorycombinatoricsprobability, and inequalitiesCalculus is not required to successfully complete any problem, but it may facilitate solving the problem more quickly or efficiently. While part of the competition is short-answer based, there is a cooperative team round, and a proof-based power question (also completed as a team). ARML problems are harder than most high school mathematics competitions.

    Math Olympiad (MOEMS) promotes problem-solving. It has two levels: Elementary Division for Grade 4-6 and Middle School Division for Grade 6-8. It includes 5 contests for each year over 5 months from November to March. The goals of Math Olympiad contests are:

    • To stimulate enthusiasm and a love for Mathematics
    • To introduce important Mathematical concepts
    • To teach major strategies for problem-solving
    • To develop Mathematical flexibility in solving problems
    • To foster Mathematical creativity and ingenuity
    • To provide for the satisfaction, joy, and thrill of meeting challenges

    Last year nearly 170,000 students from about 6,000 teams on 6 continents participated in the Olympiads. All 50 states and 39 other countries were represented.

    Here are the awards for participants: https://www.moems.org/awards.htm

  • 04/17 to 04/17  1 Math League Competition Event Thursday 5:05pm-5:45pm $10/contest in-personLocation: 16100 NW Cornell Road Suite 210 Room 4

    Math League is a Math competition for grades 3-12 students. It is held in the United States, Canada, and other countries. The competition consists of a timed multiple-choice test; the timing is such that to complete the test, students must work at a pace of one question per minute or faster.

    Math League expands on basic math concepts taught in schools by using more challenging questions and word problems, requiring students to use critical thinking to complete each question accurately and in a timely manner so that all questions can be finished in the allotted time, and because of this, the course is focused on strategies to quickly and accurately answer questions.

    Sunshine is hosting the Math League contest every year on Apr 15. The students scored 26 or above in the test will qualify for the Math League International Summer Program. You may check more information about the competition from the Math League official website: https://mathleague.com
