The Western Mathematics Exposition Competition
Welcome to the Western University Mathematics Exposition Competition. In this competition, we aim to foster interest in higher mathematics among high school students and offer an opportunity for students to experience learning beyond the high school curriculum and practicing skills for mathematical research. Since 2024, the projects can be submitted in three forms: Poster, videos and mathematical artifacts. Guidelines will be provided to guide the participants in developing their project.
Enthusiastic high school students from grades 9 to 12 to participate are invited to attend this competition. Students join as a team of 2-3 students and work under supervision of a mentor to research one of the announced themes and develop a poster, a video, or a mathematical artifact.
High school teachers, teacher candidates from the Faculty of Education, and senior undergraduate students from Western University can register as mentors for the teams. Each mentor primarily serve as a supervisor and help their team identify a topic of interest, ensure their teams stay on the right track and assist them with time management and meeting deadlines, verify that the submitted projects meet the requirements, submit the final project; the submission link will only be available to the team mentors. The estimated time commitment for mentoring each team is 5-10 hours.
The registration of teams and mentors for this competition opens usually in mid Fall, project submission for the projects is set to be in February. The judding procees is done by a judging board consists of members of the department of mathematics The winners are announced during the award ceremony in March.
The following video can help the participants to choose a proper topic for their project as well as guide them in the production of their project.
