    Q: Can I register my students after the semester has started?

    A: Yes, you can register Challenge Math Online anytime during the semester. You can access and make up all past assignments until the last day of the semester.

    Q: Can students use a calculator?

    A: We discourage the user of calculators in the program. Please use paper and pencil instead.

    Q: What is the answer format of your program?

    A: Some of our worksheets follow the standard test format, which is multiple choice .  However, there are limitations with multiple-choice questions, so many of our worksheets are free-response questions.

    For free-response questions, please only enter numbers as your answers. Our system can only recognize whole numbers and decimal numbers. Please don’t enter any characters other than digits, commas and decimal points.  Here are some examples with acceptable and non-acceptable answer formats.

  • 23,333 -- acceptable answer format
  • 456 -- acceptable answer format
  • $6 -- non-acceptable answer format (the worksheet should already give you a $ sign). Acceptable format is 6.
  • 24 books -- non-acceptable answer format. Acceptable is 24.
  • 6.23 - acceptable answer format. (decimal numbers are acceptable)
  • 4/5 - non-acceptable answer format (fraction numbers are not acceptable).

    Q: Can students save their work if they only complete part of their worksheet?

    A: No. The system doesn't save partial work. Please record the answers on a piece of paper and submit them later.

    Q: We will be on vacation for 3 days. Will my students miss any assignments?

    A: No, they will not. Students can make up any missing assignments until the last day of the semester.

    Q: Can I print assignments?

    A: Assignments are designed for online use, and are not designed for printing.

    Q: My student didn't score very well in the program. Should I be concerned?

    A: Problems in Challenge Math are not only challenging but are also different from problems students usually see in their classrooms. It will take students some time to get used to the problems and develop problem-solving skills. Please congratulate your student for every problem they solve. Treat every solved problem as an achievement and every unsolved problem as another challenge for tomorrow. Please remember that problem-solving skills are developed through practice.

    Q: Does the program rank students?

    A: The main purpose of the program is to develop students' problem-solving skills, not to rank students. However, to add some excitement, we have introduced the Competition Mode. This feature allows students who choose to participate to compete and showcase their weekly achievements. Participation in the Competition Mode is completely optional.

    Q: What is Competition Mode?

    A: Competition Mode allows aspiring students to compete and showcase their weekly achievements in the Challenge Math Online program and gives them a chance to earn a spot and see their ranks on the weekly leaderboard. Click here to learn more. 

    Q: Do you offer solutions for these problems?

    A: Solutions are available once a worksheet is submitted. Though only one method is provided in the solutions, there are many ways to solve a problem. Students are encouraged to send in their solutions!

    Q: Do you acknowledge the completion of the program at the end?

    A: Students who complete all assignments with passing grades will receive a printable certificate at the end of the program. Parents may choose to give additional rewards to acknowledge students' hard work and achievements.

    Q: How can I contact you if I have a question or a concern?

    A: Please email us at info@noetic-learning.com. Your email will be answered within one to two business days.
