New: The online registration form and payment form is available here: https://arkansasctm.org/events .  A paper form is available here: ACTM Virtual Math Contest Registration Payment Form 2021.

The contest will be similar in difficulty and content to those in the past.  The biggest difference is a change in venue:  It will take place on each participating jr/high school campus using their own facilities, proctored by the school’s faculty/staff. The contest will be administered using an online testing platform.

There will be one combined regional and state contest event. It will be open over a 3-week time period. Contest dates are Monday April 12 through Friday April 30, 2021. The Contest can be given by each participating campus at any time during this window.  We do request that campuses hold their contest at a time that does not disrupt the students’ learning, such as after 3:30PM or on weekends.

The contest fee will be $2 per student with a maximum of $50 per campus, payable to our Treasurer.

Winners will be determined after all campuses finish. Top scoring students in each school district and region will receive a certificate. Top scoring students across the state will receive a medal.

Students who are enrolled in an Arkansas school district or homeschooled in Arkansas may participate in this Virtual Math Contest. Students can take a contest exam if they are enrolled in that course this academic year.  Students can take multiple contests, as long as the student is enrolled in multiple math courses this academic year and the student’s campus will proctor multiple contests.

The regional contest directors will be sending out information on the virtual contest to their area campuses soon.

Questions? Dr. Garth Johnson is state contest director and can be contacted at garthj@uca.edu.
