Berkeley mini Math Tournament Online is June 7
BerkeleyMathTournament   0
40 minutes ago
Berkeley mini Math Tournament is a math competition hosted for middle school students once a year. Students compete in multiple rounds: individual round, team round, puzzle round, and relay round.

BmMT 2025 Online will be held on June 7th, and registration is OPEN! Registration is $8 per student. Our website https://berkeley.mt/events/bmmt-2025-online/ has more details about the event, past tests to practice with, and frequently asked questions. We look forward to building community and inspiring students as they explore the world of math!

3 out of 4 of the rounds are completed with a team, so it’s a great opportunity for students to work together. Beyond getting more comfortable with math and becoming better problem solvers, our team is preparing some fun post-competition activities!

Registration is open to students in grades 8 or below. You do not have to be local to the Bay Area or California to register for BmMT Online. Students may register as a team of 1, but it is beneficial to compete on a team of at least 3 due to our scoring guideline and for the experience.

We hope you consider attending, or if you are a parent or teacher, that you encourage your students to think about attending BmMT. Thank you, and once again find more details/register at our website,https://berkeley.mt.

Hello Middle School Math!
In case you have not seen the post in the global announcements, Richard Rusczyk is retiring his position as the founder of AOPS!
I would like to respect him in this thread because without him, there would not be a friendly place to chat about math problems, and make friends!

Thank you!

90% sure that this part was ChatGPT and the rest was real.

"
No simple sums or classroom drills,
But puzzles vast to test your skills.
He crafted problems, deep and wide,
Where logic rules and math’s the guide.

With AoPS, he forged a way,
For curious minds to learn and play.
Not just answers—proofs and thought,
A love for math is what he taught.

So here’s to Rusczyk, wise and true,
Who saw what numbers help us do.
A beacon bright, a guiding star,"
