IM²C (Singapore)
IM²C (International Mathematical Modelling Challenge) is an international competition on mathematical modelling. The purpose of the IM²C is to promote the teaching of mathematical modelling and applications at all educational levels for all students.
It is based on the firm belief that students and teachers need to experience the power of mathematics to help better understand, analyze and solve real world problems outside of mathematics itself – and to do so in realistic contexts.

About The Event
What is IM2C?
The IM2C is an annual international mathematical modelling challenge involving teams of secondary students (up to 18 years old) from different countries. A real-world mathematical scenario is posed, and each team works for several days using freely available material (from the web and other sources), and submits a report on their solution. The challenge awards prizes to the top teams.
What is the objective of IM2C?
The main aim of the IM2C is to promote mathematical modelling, and to encourage participants to explore the application of mathematics in real situations to solve problems of importance. In addition, the IM2C seeks to develop and enhance students’ ability to visualise, understand and apply mathematics in real-world contexts, providing a valuable opportunity for the practical demonstration of in-school learning and application of theory.
Why must we work in teams?
Difficult problems in society are almost always tackled by groups of…
