Join us for this Meet the Math competition led by Infinity Squared, a non-profit program created by two Carmel High School sophomores to empower young minds with the ability to problem solve and discover the beauty of mathematics with real world applications. Registration is required. Students should register individually and will be placed on teams during the event.
At Infinity Squared, we plan to host the Meet the Math: Math Marathon to share with young bright minds of our community the long road ahead paved for students through mathematics, and the worthwhile engagement and passion gained from this Math Marathon in education and beyond.
Our main event will be the Guts Round*-style team competition, a 40-minute team event with 24 total questions. There will be 6 quadruplets of problems, and the rest of the rules are similar to the ones mentioned below.
* The Guts Round is an 80-minute team event with 45 short-answer questions on an assortment of subjects, of varying difficulty and point values. Each team is seated in a predetermined spot, and the questions are divided into groups of three. At the starting signal, each team sends a runner to an assigned problem station to pick up copies of the first triplet of problems for each team member. As soon as a team has answers for one problem set, the runner may bring the answers to the problem station and pick up the next triplet. It is not expected that students will finish all the problems. Grading is immediate and scores are posted in real time.

After the Guts Round, we will also be having a variety of fun math activities, with games and snacks provided, and an award ceremony with certificates and prizes. Registration is required. Students should register individually and will be placed on teams during the event.
