<\/a><\/p>\nSome of the specific things we do to promote math-related activities are plan annual math events and host workshops.<\/p>\n
One of the main events we hold is an annual math competition, Math Bowl, which takes place every year in January. The team plans the entire event; we write the problems, sort out\u00a0logistics, and publicize the event. The competition is usually split into three sections, each with different kinds of problems. For example, our speed round encourages kids to think on their feet and practice mental math skills. Kids’ ages range from 4th-6th grade and they usually compete in teams of 3 or 4.<\/p>\n We also organize Math Mania every year. But unlike Math Bowl, Math Mania is less of a competition and more of\u00a0a way to expose kids to a broader range of math problems than they might see in school and spark their interest in math. We provide competition-based math problems and offer rewards and prizes for the kids who solve them. Members of our team also help kids with problems they’re struggling on. Our events are generally catered towards elementary to middle school students.<\/p>\n Additionally, we work to provide a multitude of resources on our website,\u00a0www.wastudentmath.org<\/a>, including\u00a0information about how to start a math club, math events and competitions, and math-related summer programs. We are constantly adding to and updating the website, as it is a major way we reach out to the community.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
