The practice contests of our Think Like a Math Champion books, online: ten problems on the clock, your score the moment you finish, a worked solution for every problem, and a medal record.
Paper, pencil and the clock. No calculator.
Open a contest and press Start. The clock counts down the suggested time; move between problems freely and change answers until you submit.
Your score appears at once, with the correct answer and the book's full worked solution for each problem, often with "Another way" to think about it.
Gold for 9 or 10, Silver for 7 or 8, Bronze for 5 or 6. Signed in, every score is saved; once a parent adds the contests, the student portal shows the medals and a breakdown by strategy.

Each correct answer earns 1 point, so a perfect score is 10. Your medal for a contest is the one of your best attempt.
Online contests only. The printed books are sold separately, on Amazon.
Grades 4 to 6: students who want to try, or train for, math competitions. The problems are of the kind found in popular elementary competitions such as MOEMS, Math Kangaroo and the Noetic Learning contest; no algebra is needed. Grades 6 to 8: the same idea one level up, with ratios, equations and first number theory, the kind of problem found in middle-school competitions such as MOEMS, AMC 8 and MATHCOUNTS.
Yes. Each grade band is a two-volume book, Think Like a Math Champion, Grades 4–6 and Grades 6–8: Volume 1 has the 12 strategy lessons and Contests 1 to 10, Volume 2 has Contests 11 to 25. We wrote every problem ourselves and checked every answer.
No. Avatar Learning Center is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by MOEMS, Math Kangaroo, the MAA (AMC 8), MATHCOUNTS or any other competition. Their names are mentioned only to describe the kind of problem our contests practice.
Yes. Every attempt is saved, and the record keeps the best score and medal for each contest. The solutions are shown after each attempt, so a retake is a review.
No. Anyone can take Contest 1 and see the solutions. A free account saves the score to the record; the other contests are part of the subscription.
Anytime: in the student portal, the contests card has "Cancel subscription". Nothing more is charged, the contests stay open until the end of the period you paid for, and the record is kept if you come back later.
The same contests are in the Think Like a Math Champion books, two volumes for each grade band: Volume 1 with the 12 strategy lessons and Contests 1–10, Volume 2 with Contests 11–25, every solution in both. Practice on paper, check and track online.
