Math Modelling Class for Middle School
Classes will introduce middle school students to the new Middle School Math Modeling Contest, which will give teams of four students from the same school a real-life world problem to work on for two weeks starting November 3. See the sample problem below, which we will be working on together as practice. Math Modeling competitions are run in the US and internationally in high schools and colleges, where students have opportunities to win money prizes for college.
As a service to its members, OMC will register student teams to compete in this years’ contest.
For those who are interested in competing, please be informed that:
Students on the team must be from the same school
Students have two weeks to work on the problem together as a team.
They can work on it whenever and however long, but they have to submit the final paper by November 16.
