@comapmath.bsky.socialA math trail turns your school grounds or local community into a living laboratory. Students measure, estimate, question, and model what they see.
Here’s how to get started:

@comapmath.bsky.socialWhat insights would HiMCM advisors share with teachers?
1. Team dynamics matter.
2. Writing needs practice.
3. Students gain confidence when they take charge.
Four advisors share these lessons and more:

@comapmath.bsky.socialMath modeling is learning what to do when the first idea doesn’t work: question an assumption, listen to a teammate, revise the approach, and keep going.
That’s the mathematical modeling mindset. Read the story: comap.org/blog/item/ma...
@comapmath.bsky.socialIf you participated in MCM, ICM, HiMCM, MidMCM, SCUDEM, or IM²C, we’d love to hear your story. Tell us what you remember about the experience and whether it shaped what you did next.

@comapmath.bsky.socialMath modeling can do more than build problem-solving skills.
It can help students discover interests, explore possible areas of study, and give them a meaningful experience to talk about in college applications.
@comapmath.bsky.socialPutting together a HiMCM or MidMCM team? Don’t stop with the highest math grades. Students who code, write clearly, or keep a group moving have a lot to offer, too.
