Math Contest

The Math Contest at the Bloomsburg campus is a major event every fall with over 300 high school students representing 24 high schools from across Northeast Pennsylvania. Some schools even enter multiple teams to compete in brainteasers, quiz bowl, and the popular Game of 24 Card Challenge. Along with the Math Club, students and faculty help coordinate and run the all-day contest. The three competitions vary in difficulty and draw from knowledge in geometry, trigonometry, algebra, logic, and statistics.
