Competition Details
In short, Math Koritsia is an in-person team-based math competition for female and nonbinary middle schoolers.
The Math
The math consists of two team-based parts: the problem-solving round, and the game-solving round.
Problem-Solving Round
In the problem-solving round, teams of 2-3 students will work on a set of 15 problems for 1 hour. Note that we do not expect teams to solve all the problems.
Game Round
You may have cracked the code to Tic-Tac-Toe or Dots and Boxes in the past, but the game-solving round will take it to the next level. In this round, teams will play original, mathematically-significant games, and will attempt to develop the winning approach. Then, they'll have the chance to test out their strategies for a special prize.
