Why It Matters
Shows collaborative thinking and sustained interest in math. Multi-year participation in a team is viewed more favourably than a single contest score.
How to Start
Ask your math teacher to help form a team for inter-school competitions. In Ontario, OFSAA runs math competitions. Many school boards host their own regional math meets.
