Math Problem-Solving Contest
The UW-Oshkosh Mathematical Problem Solving Contest is designed for motivated students in grades 7-10 who show an affinity for mathematics and mathematical sciences.

These camps provide area students the opportunity to work with UWO faculty and mathematics majors in authentic mathematics problem solving and mathematics enrichment activities linked to the Common Core content and practice standards. Camp activities will be designed by mathematics faculty, and led by UWO secondary education and middle school mathematics majors and minors.
