The fifth annual University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Mathematics Problem-solving Contest, sponsored by the UWO Mathematics Department and the College of Letters and Science, is scheduled for Tuesday April 25, 2023. We would like to invite you to bring your team of grade 7-10 math students to this exciting new event. The contest questions will focus less on testing procedural knowledge, and more on testing an ability to tackle and make sense of novel problems. We hope that your students will find the contest to be engaging as well as challenging.

Summer Oshkosh Mathematics Academy is a summer math camp for middle school students.
