Caribou Math Competition
Participants: 2nd graders~high school students
Cash Prizes: Yes
The Caribou Math Competition is the only worldwide math competition that is held totally online. This contest is held six times throughout the school year, and students that complete all six tests can compete for the Caribou Cup. Each contest engages students in 60 minutes of math puzzles, interactive questions, and a wide variety of problem-solving activities.
Not only is the Caribou Math Competition open to international participants, it also offers contests to elementary (小学) through high school students. The high school level Caribou Math Contests are divided into two age-based categories. Grades 9 and 10 participate in the same contests, and grades 11 and 12 participate in the same contests.
Cash prizes are given out to the top performing students and schools in the Caribou Cup after the final contest each year, which is held in May. Students are ranked based on the total of their top scores in five out of the six contests. A student's cash prize amount is determined based on their percentage score multiplied by a set dollar amount based on their ranking. Here's how that is calculated (计算):
• 1st place student: $ 100 X percentage score
• 2nd place student: $75 × percentage score
• 3rd place student: $ 50 × percentage score
• 4th and on: $ 30 X percentage score
