What is Number Tournament?
The Number Tournament is a math competition hosted by motivated matheletes catered towards students in 3rd to 8th grade. Participants used real time generated numbers to make a given result within a designated time, see Games page for details.

Words from Professor Po-Shen Loh
"This is a wonderful spin on a math team: students working together to create a math event for the younger generation. Whenever this happens, the tournament is run with a caring heart, because the organizing students still remember what it is like to be just a few years younger. If you're a participant, take this competition as a challenge to surprise yourself by stretching to solve more than you thought you could. Competitions (whether in math or otherwise) are great opportunities to press yourself to the limit, and then discover that you have accidentally surpassed what you thought was your limit!"
- Prof. Po-Shen Loh Prof.
Po-Shen Loh is a renowned math professor at Carnegie Mellon University and the national coach for the U.S. Math Olympiad team who led the team to win world's championships several times recently. The Number Tournament committee and past participants of the tournament had this amazing opportunity to meet him!
Congratulations to Qiao (Tiger) Zhang, one of our 2018 Number Tournament winners, for his outstanding achievement in the 2024 International Math Olympiad! Tiger not only led his US team to a 1st place victory but also earned an individual gold medal. We are incredibly proud of you, Tiger!
"You're at the beginning of a whole new world of math. Believe in yourself and enjoy the ride!" - Tiger Zhang
