Math competition part of KU Math and Statistics Awareness Month activities
LAWRENCE – To celebrate the month of April as national Mathematics and Statistics Awareness Month (MSAM), the University of Kansas Department of Mathematics will offer a series of educational events for area students.
Third- through 12th-grade students from the region are invited to participate in person at the department’s annual math competition April 2 in Snow Hall. The competition has three levels: third through fifth grades, middle school and high school. All students are encouraged to participate. The registration deadline is March 31.
The mathematics department will also host workshops for fifth graders and feature invited talks open to the public. The mayor of Lawrence and governor of Kansas traditionally offer proclamations of April as a month to observe MSAM. Over the last 30 years, this important outreach program has enabled thousands of students in Kansas to engage in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
