9th Annual Math Competition
The High School Mathematics Competition is an annual outreach event that has been held at GUST (in collaboration w/ the FPU) since 2015. Teams from different private high schools in Kuwait participate in this competition.
The competition consists of three parts:
- The first part involves presenting a related topic of the high school’s choice, followed by a short Q&A session. The presentations are assessed by judges from GUST's Mathematics & NS Department, based on five criteria: Creativity, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Communication and Representation, Response to Questions, Presentation Structure.
- The second part consists of a 10-question test, where each team works together to complete a set of challenging math problems.
- Lastly, an individual speed round takes place where every student competes to get the most questions right, taking place via Kahoot, a game-based learning platform that uses multiple choice quizzes accessed via web-browser.
