Each spring, students from two-year colleges across the state have the opportunity to participate in MATYCONN’s Annual Math Contest. Every Math Department within the Community College system is encouraged to support this annual event and to participate!
The mathematics content included in the contest is through the Intermediate Algebra level. Problems include applications, geometry, logic, basic statistics, quadratic equations, etc. Students need to think critically, and advanced students might not have an advantage. Students need to solve twenty questions (worth from 1 to 4 points each) in two hours, so time is a factor. All answers have to be complete, with proper units or labels (no partial credit); calculators are allowed.
MATYCONN, as the sponsoring organization, also contributes. In addition, each campus is encouraged to give local prizes to their winners, including cash awards and certificates.
