In every child lies the potential to solve problems, think critically, and build confidence — they just need the right opportunity to practice consistently. That’s where the PSL Daily Challenge comes in: a simple but powerful daily mathematics challenge designed to nurture the problem-solving muscle in every learner
At Problem Solvers League (PSL), we believe learning doesn’t need to be overwhelming. In just 10 minutes a day, any learner can sharpen their math skills, develop persistence, and join a fun, competitive community of other young problem solvers across the country.
What is the PSL Daily Challenge?
The PSL Daily Challenge is a bite-sized mathematical problem-solving experience where learners tackle one high-quality question each day, aligned to their grade level. It is designed to be:-
- Engaging: Learners enjoy gamified challenges with scores and rankings.
-
- Competitive: Leaderboards help learners see how they are performing against peers in their class, school, and even nationwide.
-
- Rewarding: Daily streaks, badges, and personalized feedback make every effort count.
-
- Accessible: Available anytime on mobile or desktop, with challenges lasting under 10 minutes.
Why It’s Different from Traditional Homework
In most schools, math practice can feel like an endless drill — repetitive and disconnected from real-world skills. The PSL Daily Challenge flips this by focusing on:-
- Quality over quantity — one carefully crafted problem daily that challenges reasoning, not just memorization.
-
- Healthy competition — learners see where they rank and are motivated to improve.
-
- Building discipline — just like sports, academic discipline grows through daily small actions.
The Power of the PSL League Format
The PSL League runs in two exciting cycles each year:-
- Alpha League (January to June)

- Omega League (July to December)
