The North Carolina Council of Teachers of Mathematics sponsors three regional Math Fairs each spring. The best projects qualify for the State Math Fair. Only students attending school in North Carolina are eligible to enter. Projects may be entered in the following categories:
- Grades K-2 (Individual or Class Projects)
- Grades 3-5 (Individual or Class Projects)
- Grades 6-8 (Individual Projects)
- Grades 9-12 (Individual Projects)
Class projects must involve a majority of the students in that class. Individual projects involve one or two students only. Projects must be pre-registered to be accepted for competition. During the judging, each project must be represented by one or two students whose names appear on the project.
