The segment descriptions along with the categories that can participate are listed below:
- Maths Olympiad (3-12) [Individual]
Participants will have to answer 8 Olympiad-level mathematical questions within a given period of time. Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad’s format will be followed.
- Relay (7-12) [Team of 3]
Each team member will have to solve a question. The first member will pass their answer to the second member who can then use that answer to solve their question. Second member will then pass their answer to the third one, whose answer will determine the champion!
- Treasure Hunt (For Real) (7-12) [Team of 3]
Each team will start off on the first floor where they will be required to solve a mathematical question to find the clue which leads them to the next room. This goes on for three rounds until the top 3 teams reach the fourth room, where they will have to solve an ultimate problem which leads them to their treasure. The team which presents the treasure in the shortest amount of time wins the trophy, while the other two teams take second and third position based on the sequence in which they arrived in the fourth room.
- Naga-sa-quiz (3-8) [Team of 3]
Teams will compete against each other on the stage in a buzzer round. Maths-based short questions will be asked and the first one among the competing teams to press their buzzer will be allowed to answer. The teams with the most points will be crowned the champions!
- The Dictator (7-8) [Individual]
Participants will be given a maths problem and they will have 5 minutes of preparation time. They will then have to explain how to solve/approach the sum in front of a panel of judges while they will be asked questions regarding their approach. The most accurate approaches will be awarded 1st, 2nd and 3rd place.
- Integration Bee (10-12) [Individual]
Two contestants will be paired up and they will compete against each other. An integration maths problem will be given to them and they will solve it simultaneously on the board within a given time limit. The fastest one to arrive with an answer will win.
- Rapid Fire (5-6) [Individual]
Participants will be individually picked and then rapidly asked a series of short maths questions which they will need to answer at very short intervals. Participants’ scores will depend on the number of questions they correctly answer. The highest scorers win.
- IQ Olympiad (3-6) [Individual]
Participants will have to solve IQ questions that will be purely mathematical in a given period of time.
- Tug of War (9-12) [Class Vs Class]
2 representative teams from each class (IX & X) and (XI & XII) each consisting of 8 members face off against each other in a 3 round match of tug of war while being bombarded with maths questions, which the team must collectively answer in order to not lose a member. The team which wins more rounds wins, consequentially making the represented class win. There will be different matches for boys and girls.
- IShowMaths (3-5) [Individual]
Participants will be required to pick and solve questions scattered around a limited space in a given amount of time. The participant with the maximum number of correct responses wins.
- The Last of Us: Survival of the Mathletes (6-12) [Individual]
Participants have to go through an obstacle course, designed with a series of barriers all centered around math; the first one to complete the entire course wins.
The registration fee is BDT 600 for each participant. Interested individuals must complete the registration process by collecting and filling up the registration forms from their respective admins.
Separate team registration forms must be submitted in order to participate in the team segments. The individual registration forms must be submitted along with the registration fee prior to the submission of the team registration forms.
