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.
