The Primary Math World Contest (Po Leung Kuk) is an annual worldwide mathematics contest for middle school students that takes place in Hong Kong, China. Every year, Mathworks administers the Mathworks Math Contest in order to select the members of the PMWC team. Members of the team earn automatic acceptance to the Residential Junior Summer Math Camp, and an all-expense paid trip to Hong Kong to compete in the Primary Math World Contest.
As of March 2019, the Mathworks team has won first place in the world 3 times in the Primary Math World Contest. Fantastic work!
