Problem-solving that stretches every grade.
The Synai Math Challenge invites students from upper elementary through high school to test their reasoning against thoughtfully crafted problems. Each round grows in depth, rewarding careful thinking, persistence, and the joy of discovering how numbers work.
Open to students in grades 3–12. Every student competes within their own grade division, so they are matched with peers their age.
This competition runs in 3 rounds across the season:

Runs September 2026
A step up in challenge for students advancing from the qualifier.
Runs October 2026

Runs November 2026
Dates shown are for the Fall 2026 season and may be confirmed closer to the event.
Top competitors in each grade division earn Gold, Silver, and Bronze recognition for their season.
We never show a child's full name or photo. Public standings use a first name and last initial only, and families can keep any child off the leaderboard entirely.
