USI to host Indiana State Mathematics Contest

The University of Southern Indiana has been selected as one of the host sites for the 2023 Indiana State Mathematics Contest. The USI contest, which will run from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, April 22, is open to any student in upper elementary, middle/junior high and high school.   

Registration will begin at 9 a.m. followed by the exam, which will take place from 9:30-11 a.m. Following the exam, a fast-paced Math-O-Rama competition will take place where students will solve problems while working in pairs. After each round, partners will change. Lunch will be served after the Math-O-Rama. The day will end with an award ceremony recognizing the top student at each school with the highest combined state score and Math-O-Rama score. 

Participants may only take one test each year in one of the following categories: Pre-Algebra, Algebra First Course/Integrated Math I, Geometry/Integrated Math II, Algebra Second Course/Integrated Math III or Comprehensive. Parents or guardians will need to register their students for the contest with the understanding that Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) will ask for each students’ math teachers’ names and email addresses to verify registration status.  

There is a non-refundable $7 participant fee per student with lunch included.
