The Mathworks Math Contest (MMC) is a free contest: an opportunity for middle school students (grades 6 - 8) to explore mathematics and be challenged by high-level problems!

The MMC is a 15 question test that is proctored by math teachers, coaches, and parents at their respective schools. Teachers will receive the test, administer it to students, and send students’ responses to us. After all the tests have been graded, scores are released. Top scoring students will be recognized. All students are encouraged to apply to one of the Mathworks summer math camps.
