Study Concepts and CATS ( Capital Area Telugu Society ) invite you to participate in the 2012 'SCI Math Minds' - a Math Competition on Saturday, March 3rd, 2012, at Herndon Middle School, Herndon VA.

All the Math Enthusiasts in the DC metropolitan and other areas are invited to participate in this mathematics competition.

The competition is open to any student in Grades 1 through 8, attending public schools, private schools or home schools.

The competition will be held in four separate sections:

Section 1 for Grades 1 & 2

Section 2 for Grades 3 & 4

Section 3 for Grades 5 & 6

Section 4 for Grades 7 & 8.

Section 1 will only have one written round whereas sections 2, 3, and 4 will have both written and oral (challenge) rounds.

First round: The students will take an individual written test focusing on various topics, such as computations, numbers and operations, pre-algebra, basics of geometry and measurement, probability, mental math, and speed math.

Second round: Countdown round. The Countdown Round is a fast-paced, oral competition for top-scoring students (based on scores from the first round). In this round, pairs of students compete against each other and the clock to solve problems.  

The top four students in each section would be awarded prizes of $500, $300, $200 and $100 respectively.

The registration is still open for a limited number of students only.
