About the Challenge
The Modeling the Future Challenge is a real-world math-modeling and data-analysis competition for high school students. To compete, students analyze real-world data to project future trends and make recommendations to help mitigate risks. Join the challenge to put your critical thinking, mathematical reasoning, and analytical skills to the test! You’ll also have a shot at your part of the $60,000 award purse! Learn more in the “How it Works” page, but your first and most important step is to signup for email updates to get the important news and milestones!
Resources
Our program guides, worksheets, scenario examples, and other resources provide educators with unique materials that can be used in mathematics, science, and computer science classrooms. Our materials use data analysis and critical thinking scenarios to connect what students are learning in the classroom with real-world needs. The materials help guide your students not only through mathematical analyses, but also through the critical thinking process, risk management, and actuarial logic. Our student resources provide guidance and examples to help teams get started in the MTFC. Check out all the resources at the two links below.
