[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What if her school does not sponsor any of these competitions or any math clubs? Does she need to join RSM to participate? If I could help start a math club at her school, what type of math club would it be? For instance, mathcount? [/quote]

You don’t have to join RSM, there are other math competition programs. My kid does RSM so it is what I know so it is the example I use. Google Math Clubs or Math Competition programs and see what comes up. If you look at the Math Kangaroo results you can see what programs kids took the test through and get an idea for the programs, the results list kid name, program, and city for each state.

AoPS has math classes that are good, we did those for a year but DS wanted an in-person class and RSM was a lot closer so we moved there. There are also the books and there is an online program.

Mathcounts is for 6-8 graders so you have time to wait. You can start a math club at school but it is a good amount of work, my DH ran one at DSs ES, The first trimester (our school had 3 EC sessions per year) had a lot of kids in it that were there because the parents thought math would be good for their kid and the kid didn’t want to be there. The last two trimesters the kids who were there were interested in the math competition practice. It is a lot of work putting together material that is appropriate for all the different age groups. And you have to be ready to teaach the material.

Most of the MS have a mathcounts club at the school. Some are hard to get into because of the level of interest. [/quote]
