OTHER ONLINE COMPETITIONS

OLITELE - MARATHON

We announce that various reasons have advised against continuing the call for online competitions whose fundamental evaluation element was the detailed reasoned response to some problems.

Competition aimed at students in 3rd or 4th year of secondary school, vocational training cycles, or high school. The theme of the stories submitted must be related to the world of mathematics and must be written in the language of the lands where people say «Good morning!».

To choose the design that identifies the SCM Kangaroo test, a competition is held every three years among students in 3rd and 4th year of secondary school and post-compulsory secondary education.
