Is your child ready for a math competition?

A grade-by-grade checklist that helps you judge whether your child is ready for Math Kangaroo, MOEMS, Noetic, CML, or AMC 8, and what to do if they are not quite there yet.

  • Skill and temperament checks for grades 1–2, 3–4, 5–6, and 7–8
  • A simple score that says "ready", "almost", or "wait and play"
  • Which competition fits each grade, and the gentlest first one
  • What to do next in each case, including free practice
