MATH COMPETITIONS

​

Most people are not aware that there are many mathematical competitions students can participate in at elementary, middle, and high school levels in the United States and abroad.

However, finding which math competitions to attend and how to apply may not be easy, especially the first time. Most competitions have thought-provoking problems designed to engage students in a way that school mathematics often doesn’t.



The benefits of math competitions:

• can help students earn scholarships 

• stand out as college applicants

• help prepare students for competition (in life as well)

• learn to deal with success and failure

• build confidence

• connect with students of like interests and abilities

• and, most importantly, because it’s fun!
