IUPUC will be one of 9 statewide hosts for the 2023 Indiana State Math Contest sponsored by the Indiana Council of Teachers of Mathematics (ICTM). The contest is on Saturday, April 22, to be held in the Columbus Learning Center.

New this year, parents/legal guardians, as well as teachers, may register their public or private school elementary, middle, or high school students between March 6 and March 31. The $7 registration fee must be paid online to complete registration. No onsite, day-of or late registrations will be permitted. ICTM reserves the right to verify school and course enrollment.

To register, visit indianactm.org/2023mathcontest.

Students from across the state will have the opportunity to compete in one of five exam categories:

  • Pre-Algebra
  • Algebra First Course/Integrated Math I
  • Geometry/Integrated Math II
  • Algebra Second Course/Integrated Math III
  • Comprehensive

Awards will be presented to top scorers for each category both at the local and state level.

Leigh Britt, Lecturer in Mathematics at IUPUC and board member of ICTM, is the coordinator of the statewide event as well as the local site coordinator. “Not only is this a great opportunity for students to challenge themselves, but also to meet other STEM-minded students who are drawn to math,” said Britt. “In addition, this might be the first time that some of these students have set foot on a college campus, so we encourage them to take time to look around, ask questions, and soak in the environment.”

IUPUC Professor Rodney Lynch, Ph.D., is again the exam writer for the Comprehensive exam this year, having written it in 2022 and 2019. Lynch also wrote the Geometry exam in 2017 and 2018.
