All India Math Challenge

11:09 0

The All India Math Challenge - powered by Amazon STEM - is the FIRST AND LARGEST Mobile Stem Challenge conducted in India

It will be conducted within Monster Math - selected by Google as the “Best Indie Game” of 2016.

This is not your typical maths competition or exam – where kids are supposed to be closeted inside an exam hall and solve questions under stress. Makkajai is conducting the Math Madness Challenge to instill a fun, engaging and effective way of learning for kids and to use this way to make kids fall in love with maths.

This means you are welcome to:
Use any reference materials
Guide your children if they are sitting besides you and don’t know the answer to a particular question
Participate in the All India Math Challenge for any amount of time that your child wishes! If your child wants to participate for 1 hr every day, great! If he or she want to participate for only 30 mins in a week, even that is great! Remember, it is all about letting your child challenge himself / herself and fall in love with Maths!
We want your child to fall in love with Maths at the end of the Challenge, and walk away happy with Maths and become much more confident in Maths – way more than what he/she was before the Challenge!

The All India Math Madness Challenge (“Challenge”) will be held within the free version of the Monster Math App – which is available on the iOS App Store and Google Play Store.

Prizes
Rs 1.5 Lakhs of prizes to be won

Eligibility
This Challenge is for kids studying in Senior KG through Std. V (both inclusive). Each standard will have its own Challenge within the App and will have its own fairness to ensure fairness.
