@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.
