FAQ

How do I participate in the team round?

By registering, you are automatically part of the individual and team rounds. For the team round, the competition highly recommends a team of 4 people.

If you've already talked to a few people you want to work with, you are allowed to team up with them. All team members must belong to the same division (middle school (6-8) or elementary school (3-5)). Please note that if your team is not full, we reserve the right to add members to your team.

If you don't have a team, we will place you in a team in the competition.

What is the difficulty level of this competition? Do you have sample questions?

At INTEGIRLS, we try to create a community where everyone is comfortable competing in math. All levels of math experience are welcome and encouraged to participate. The elementary school problems will range from counting to arithmetic to some Pre-Algebra. The middle school problems will range from arithmetic to Pre-Algebra, Algebra, Geometry, and Probability. Team round problems will cover various difficulty levels.

Is there a limit to many teams can join from a given school?

Nope!
