2. A NEW kind of placement test!This test is especially designed for teachers, tutors, and anyone who needs to place several students into Math Mammoth.Placement test, grades 1-3 Answer Key  It will help you gauge whether your student(s) would generally speaking place in Math Mammoth grade 1, 2, or 3 (or none of those), with just a single test. The student is supposed to do all the questions they are able, and just leave the rest blank. In other words, the student does not have to finish the test, but do however much they can, in each section. The test is measuring the student's ability in several grade levels all at once. If they are able to do nearly all the questions, they will not place to Math Mammoth grades 1-3, but to Grade 4 or above. The grading for this test is different from the regular end-of-year tests and is explained in the PDF file. The regular, comprehensive placement tests are still on this page. I recommend using them over the more concise test if you have the time, and also whenever you need to know in detail where a student has gaps. (The concise test does not even touch the topics of measurement, clock, or money.) The comprehensive tests work as generic math assessment tests, too. |

4. North Star Contests — free math competition North Star Contests is an online math competition platform for students in kindergarten to grade 8, designed to reduce math anxiety and help kids build confidence through fun, low pressure challenges. The next online competition runs from January 13th, 2026 8:00 AM to January 14th, 2026 6:00 PM EST.

Parents can register individual students, and teachers can register entire classes. Each student counts as one use of the code.
