We are hosting the 2020 GMA Math Contest, an online math competition for girls in grades 5-8, this August! Below is an abridged version of an article posted to local news outlets.
Although there are many harmful gender stereotypes and negative assumptions about math, the Girls Math Association hopes to clear these perceptions by supporting girls with their annual math contest. The 2020 GMA Math Contest encourages young girls in elementary and middle school to develop their problem solving and math skills so that when they reach high school, they feel comfortable in embracing mathematics and STEM as a possible career path. The contest will be held from August 1 to August 3 to give students time to prepare over the summer and the flexibility to choose when they will take the exam. Because of the COVID-19 crisis, the competition will be held online with a submission form. The exam is 50 minutes and contains 30 multiple choice intensive math problems covering algebra, geometry, number theory, counting, and probability. Top scorers of the exam in the Grades 5-6 Category and the 7-8 Category will be given monetary awards as prizes. To register for the contest, please complete this form.
