Contest problems are NOW available for the modeling contests: High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM)®, Middle Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MidMCM).

Welcome to the new home of Mathmodels.org
Powered by COMAP content, Mathmodels.org goes beyond our contests to make applied mathematics and modeling a year-round activity with problems, student solutions and commentaries. Teachers and students use the materials found on this site to enrich their classes and prepare for mathematical modeling competitions.

Curious about math modeling contests? Join COMAP for a live webinar on October 21 at 7:00 p.m. ET to learn how the HiMCM and MidMCM contests work, what makes them unique, and how to get your students involved. These international team-based contests challenge middle and high school students to apply math to real-world problems and build their modeling, problem-solving, and communication skills. Bring your questions and join the conversation!

COMAP invites educators, undergraduate and graduate students to help refresh and modernize our rich library of mathematical modeling resources. Mathematics education is evolving, and what was relevant a decade ago may no longer engage today’s diverse students. The Refresh for Relevance Challenge is an opportunity to revamp classic COMAP materials to align with contemporary classrooms, new technology, and current best practices.

Written specifically for high school courses, Discrete Mathematics: Modeling Our World is a new fifth edition of the formerly titled Discrete Mathematics Through Applications. It is designed to help you implement mathematical modeling in your classroom, in a way that promotes active learning, critical thinking, and fully engaged student participation.

Next Up: JMM (Joint Mathematics Meetings)

January 4-7, 2026 in Washington D.C. Walter E. Washington Convention Center

Be sure to visit the COMAP booth to find out about our modeling contests, membership options and publications. COMAP staff will be in attendance to answer all your questions.

We are excited to partner with Ellison Scholars, part of the Ellison Institute of Technology (EIT). This collaboration offers students in COMAP’s math modeling contests the opportunity to showcase their skills while contributing to solutions for global challenges.
