Math contests and related events

Math Kangaroo: we are hoping to host our own after-school Math Kangaroo contest this year! The individual contest would be Thursday, March 18, 2027, and there might be a team contest in the fall, too.

Math League (local/qualifier): see parent email for details, and look at these contest schedule options. Last year, the at-home online contest was the best option because the closest in-person options were in Kirksville and Rolla.

Math League (regional/district): for those who qualify, the Central Region contest for 2027 will be on a date TBD.

RBHS March Mathness: 8:30am–1pm on a Saturday in March at Rock Bridge High School, date TBD; details and free registration will be at this link
