Noetic Learning Math Contest and workshops

More than 60,000 students across the country participated in the NLMC during the 2024-2025 school year. MathAltitude was among the first three schools in Massachusetts to offer the NLMC in November 2013 and has continued this tradition ever since. The number of young math enthusiasts taking part in the contest has grown significantly and we expect even greater attendance this year. 

What is the Noetic Learning Math Contest?

• The Noetic Learning Math Contest is a math challenge for the school students in grades 2 - 8.
• The goal of the competition is to encourage young students' interest in math, to develop their problem solving skills, and to inspire them to excel in math.
• In this contest students are given 45 minutes to solve 20 problems that cover a broad range of mathematical skills.
• More information is available at www.noetic-learning.com/mathcontest.

The next Noetic Learning Math Contest for students in grades 3-6 will take place
IN-PERSON on Friday, November 20, 2026 at 7:00 P.M.
Registration deadline is October 22, 2026.

The contest at MathAltitude will be offered to students in grades 3 through 6. All students, who plan to participate in the contest, must participate in the preparatory workshops as well. A minimum of 4 students is required to open a competition for each grade.

Contest fee: $20.00

Students, not enrolled in math classes at MathAltitude, should register for NLMC competition and workshops on our website. MathAltitude students should register for the contest and pay for the workshops in the office.

Online Prep Sessions will be held on Fridays, October 30, November 6, November 13, 7:00 to 8:30 P.M.

Workshops fee: $105 for 3 90-min classes - for students in grades 3 - 6 not enrolled in MathAltitude math or science classes. Discounts are provided for students enrolled to MathAltitude math or science classes - please ask in the office.

We invite our students in grades 3 through 6 and all their friends to challenge their mathematical curiosity with this contest. While there are a fair number of math contests available for high school students, there are not that many held for elementary and middle school students. The NLMC can be the first great step in discovering mathematics.

Note – we will offer the MK command competition and NLMC competition and workshops at the same days/time in 2026, so students will have to chose only one.
