What is this
This isn't tutoring. It's training.
Live Gimkit battles against real opponents. Spiral review that sharpens the concepts that matter. One match per week. 45 minutes. That's it.
Competitive Math
Live Gimkit battles against real opponents. Spiral review across pre-algebra, algebra, and geometry. Strategic gameplay that sharpens the concepts that matter most.
Real Stakes
Every match counts. We track correct answers, accuracy, and game placement across the season. Top players in each division win cash prizes.
Zero Homework
No grades. No worksheets. No stress. Just 45 minutes of competitive gameplay twice a week. Show up, compete, get better at math.
Prize Pool
Play for real money. Every division has a prize pool.
Top 3 players in each division win cash — prizes repeat across every division, every season. Plus three stat-category bonuses for the season leader in each tracked metric.
1st place prize = full season refund · prizes awarded end of season
Stat Category Bonuses
Season leaders in each tracked stat earn an extra $50 — per division.
How each session works
~45 minutes. Every stat counts.
Each session follows this structure. Predictable, scalable, and easy to show up for.
Warmup
~5 min. Brain teaser warmup, quick hello, review the standings. Friendly chatter while everyone gets settled. Gimkit code goes live.
Competition
~30 min. Three 10-minute rounds with short breaks, or one extended game. Format rotates weekly. All stats count toward season standings.
Wrap-Up
~5 min. Live leaderboard update. See where you stand. Shoutouts, highlights, GG.
Some weeks feature three fast rounds. Other weeks feature one longer strategic game. Either way, every stat counts.
The details
Everything you need to know.
Divisions
Three tracks. Small groups. Real competition.
Each division holds up to 25 players. When a track fills, we open a new division with its own leaderboard and prize pool. More players means more divisions, more winners.
Elementary Track
Pre-Algebra Foundations
Sub-divisions by grade: 3rd grade and 4th grade compete separately.
Middle School Track
Pre-Algebra through Algebra 1
Sub-divisions by grade when enrollment allows. 5th-6th and 7th-8th compete in separate groups.
High School Track
Algebra + Geometry
Schedule
Pick your days. Pick your time.
All sessions are 45 minutes. Choose one schedule that works for you — Mon/Wed, Tue/Thu, or Fri/Sun. Same content, same competition, same leaderboard.
Choose your slot at registration. All time slots cover the same content. You can switch slots during the season if needed.
In-Person Sessions
Meet up. Play together. Actually hang out.
Once a week, we gather in person at the Princeton or Plainsboro Public Library in New Jersey. Pizza is served. Snacks and drinks provided. It's a real place to meet other math-competitive kids — and actually have fun while doing it.
Princeton / Plainsboro Library, NJ
Once per week in-person
Relax in the library or nearby
Pizza, snacks, beverages + surprises
Can't make it in person? No problem — every session is fully playable online via Skool + Gimkit.
Why This Matters
The summer slide is real.
Your brain doesn't stop working over summer. But your math skills do.
A five-year study published in the American Educational Research Journal tracked U.S. students across five consecutive summers. The result: the average student lost 25–34% of their school-year math gains every single summer. More than half of students lost ground every year — and for the worst-affected, losses reached up to 90% of the year's progress.
Math gets hit hardest because it's procedural. Solving equations, factoring expressions, applying formulas — these skills depend on practiced recall. Without regular use, the brain's forgetting curve takes over. Psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus proved that we lose up to 67% of newly learned information within 24 hours without reinforcement. Over a 10-week summer break, that decay compounds.
The result? 9 out of 10 teachers spend the first three weeks of school re-teaching last year's material. That's three weeks your kid isn't learning anything new — because summer erased what they already knew.
The Math Quest League is built on the science that fights this.
Twice-a-week competitive Gimkit sessions force spaced retrieval practice — the single most effective technique for long-term retention, according to a meta-analysis of 254 studies. Every time a student retrieves a math fact under real-time competitive pressure, it sticks deeper. No worksheets. No boring review packets. Just fast-paced math battles that make you sharper every session.
This is how you walk into September already ahead.

You need to know the basics — but this league is about practice and improvement, not perfection. Your accuracy goes up as you play. That's the whole point. The spiral review format means you'll see the same concepts multiple times across sessions, and you'll get better each time. Students in honors or advanced math tracks will get the most out of this, but any motivated learner who wants to compete is welcome.
Grades 3–10. We have three tracks: Elementary (grades 3–4), Middle School (grades 5–8, covering pre-algebra through algebra), and High School (grades 9–10, covering algebra and geometry). Each track competes separately with its own leaderboard and prize pool.
Gimkit is a fast-paced online game platform where students answer math questions while competing in modes like Capture the Flag, Don't Look Down, and 1v1 battles. Think gaming meets math mastery.
Skool is our community platform. The league lives at skool.com/math — that's where schedules, game links, leaderboard updates, community chat, and session replays all live. You'll get access when you register.
Yes. Every session is fully playable online via Zoom + Gimkit. If you are in the Princeton / Plainsboro, NJ area, we also host weekly in-person meetups at the public library — pizza, snacks, and drinks included. Parents are welcome to stay, relax, and hang out in the library or surrounding area.
Try to make every session — your stats only count when you play. If you miss one, you can not retroactively earn those points. In some cases, if logistics work out (same division, same week's content), we may be able to move you into an alternate session. Reach out and we will do our best. That said, 8 sessions over 4 weeks is a manageable commitment.
We track three stats per session: correct answers, accuracy percentage, and game placement. Each is ranked across all players in your division. Your final standing is the composite average of those three ranks. Lowest composite score wins. The season leader in each individual stat category also earns a $50 bonus.
Spots are capped by division size — we keep groups small enough to be competitive and personal. The season locks on July 6 regardless of how many people have signed up. Register now to guarantee your spot and lock in the current price. If we raise pricing for future seasons, early registrants will always be grandfathered in.
Full refund if you withdraw before the first session. After the season starts, no refunds — but you can transfer your spot to another student.
