8th gr. multiple-time winner​
Number Tournament has helped me use numbers creatively and strategically. When I first started out, I didn’t know how to use a lot of the functions. However, as the years passed, I got more used to the different combinations I could use, and understanding how I could manipulate some of them to get the number I needed. I’ve met some great friends as well, and have paired up with the same two girls for the past 3-4 years, becoming people that I’m close with. Even though it was hard at the start, the more and more I did it, the more fun it got and I looked forward to practicing for and attending the competition each year. It’s overall a really good way to learn how to use numbers differently than you would think, and exercise critical thinking and problem solving skills!

The Number Tournament is a very fun competition in which you need to think of creative methods to turn numbers to other numbers. It improves your critical thinking and number theory. It can also lead to higher math achievement and higher problem solving skills. Overall, I think it is a very fun and competitive competition.

We really enjoyed the number tournament. It was a very fun way to get kids to be engaged with learning more about math and problem solving. I would highly recommend it to other students and friends to sign up their own kids.

TESTIMONIALS
Below are feedback from past participants and parents of Number Tournament.
"It was a very fun and exciting event!"
"We will definitely come back; and next year we hope to support more the event. Let us know how can we help the event!"
"Our students really enjoyed all the games, and even today they kept practicing the game 24 (they were saying they would do better next year)"
"I also wanted you to know that Sam had an amazing time at the tournament! He came without a team, met really nice kids and learned so much from them. Thank you for making this happen!"
"The kids were super engaged, sharing ideas with each other. My son learned a lot and left extremely excited to share what he had learned with friends and family."
"I hope that you continue with this tournament. I would like to bring a team rather than just an individual next year."
"Thank you for the invite. It was our first year and my daughter enjoyed it. :)"
