Next Up: The High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM) and The Middle Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MidMCM) November 1-14, 2023
Centered around mathematical modeling, most from an interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary perspective, COMAP resources are academically rigorous and engaging for teachers and students.
Powered by COMAP content, MATHmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity with articles, webinars, problems with solutions, and more.
COMAP’s international modeling contest opportunities at the middle school, high school, and undergraduate levels challenge teams of students to solve a real-world application problem, present their solution, and win recognition.
COMAP provides educators and students a vast array of resources for teaching, learning, professional development, and contest participation. Resources are multidisciplinary, academically rigorous, and fun.
COMAP is blogging! Check out our array of blogs addressing applied mathematics, math and interdisciplinary modeling, math and STEM education, and more.

MATHmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity for students and educators through articles, webinars, and past contest problems with solutions.
Modeling Daylight in the Northern Hemisphere This module uses sinusoidal functions to model the amount of daylight at locations in the northern hemisphere. Mathematical tools include sinusoidal functions, radian measure, rates of change, and piecewise functions. Click here to learn more.
In this Math in Pictures blog we turn our attention to some Boston Ivy outside the window. Hard not to miss and hard not to think about it mathematically.
A quick-start guide to help COMAP math contest advisors have a successful and enjoyable experience from start to finish.
In this blog series, we're highlighting math modeling modules and articles that explore real-world issues that have broad implications.
The mission of COMAP – The Consortium for Mathematics and Its Applications - is to improve mathematics education with an emphasis on increasing student proficiency in mathematical modeling.
Since 1980, COMAP has worked with educators, students, businesses, and industry to create learning environments where mathematics is used to investigate and model real issues in our world.
COMAP develops curriculum resources, professional development programs, and contest opportunities that are multidisciplinary, academically rigorous, and fun for educators and students. COMAP's educational philosophy is centered around mathematical modeling: using mathematical tools to explore real-world problems.
