Indiana State Math Contest

The Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics is pleased to inform you that the 2013 Indiana State Mathematics Contest will be held at 9:30 am on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at the sites listed below.

This annual contest is provided by the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM) and governed by policies approved by ICTM for Indiana colleges and universities to host the event. This contest has been approved by the Division of School Activities and the Indiana Association of School Principals. For more information or to be added to the mailing list, please contact a local host site coordinator. We hope you will encourage your students to participate in the 2013 contest.

Categories, Format and Content

There are five mathematics problem-solving tests. Each contains 28 to 40 multiple-choice questions; 90 minutes are allowed for students to work with the test. The categories are: Pre-Algebra, Algebra First Course/Integrated Math I, Geometry/Integrated Math II, Algebra Second Course/Integrated Math III, and Comprehensive. Questions for the first four categories may be related to the content identified in Indiana's academic standards or included in state-approved textbooks. The content of the Comprehensive category is drawn from pre-calculus mathematics including trigonometry, finite mathematics, simple linear algebra, probability, statistics, and analytic geometry.

Previous Years' Exams
