A fast-growing franchise is counting on eager young minds to help make its annual math competition a success.

Mathnasium has announced that it will be holding its first annual National Math Triathlon in May 2011 in locations around the country. The competition is open to all student in third grade to sixth grade. The winners of each grade's completion will be honored at a ceremony in Los Angeles, California, in July 2011, which will occur during the franchises annual meeting.

The president of Mathnasium, David Ullendorff, said that the competition was a good way to nurture young minds.

"Mathnasium's National Math Triathlon Day is an ideal opportunity for us to recognize and celebrate the accomplishments of mathematics students in these grade levels," said Mr. Ullendorff. "Each Math Triathlon challenge tests a different facet of students' analytical and computational abilities. We hope this event will generate excitement about math education among students and in schools."

Mathnasium was in the headlines recently after it held its sixth annual convention at one of the most beloved resort destinations in America. Two hundred attendees associated with the franchise attended the convention at the Walt Disney World Swan Resort in Orlando, Florida.
