MathWorks Math Modeling Challenge
The MathWorks Math Modeling (M3) Challenge is a contest sponsored by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) for high school juniors and seniors in the United States. Teams of three to five students solve an open-ended problem about a real issue in 14 continuous hours over the M3 Challenge weekend. Through participation, students experience what it is like to work as a team to tackle a real-world problem under time and resource constraints, akin to those faced by professional mathematicians working in industry. Extra-credit awards are available for teams that choose to write or employ outstanding code as part of their solution. Scholarships totaling $100,000 will be awarded in 2022.
To get a glimpse of what it is like to participate in this competition, students can explore a collection of archived challenges, winning solutions, judging perspectives, photos, videos, and more, from 2006 to the present.
Deadlines: Register by February 18, 2022; Challenge weekend (Friday through Monday) is February 25–28, 2022.

Our Top Resources in January 2022
Each month we publish blogs and newsletters full of digital learning, funding, professional growth, social media, and STEM resources. Below are items from our blogs and newsletters that educators turned to the most in December.
Authentic Opportunities to Learn and Do Mathematics
With the Math in the Media program from the American Mathematical Society (AMS), teachers can stay up-to-date with math in current events and get ideas for classroom activities. The site has two components: Digests of Math in the Media and Tony Phillips’ Take on Math in the Media.
Reimagining Summer School
Imagine students saying, “I get to go to summer school”—about MATH! The MIND Research Institute’s new five-week program, designed specifically for summer school use in K–5, immerses students in rich math experiences. The program provides pre- and post-assessments, number-sense games, small-group instruction, and much more. Ninety-minute blocks, five days a week is all it takes to help build confidence and facilitate a deep conceptual understanding. Get started today and make sure your students are ready to hit the ground running in the fall.
