<p>Hey, I am going to be a junior this fall. My school doesn’t have a math club, and I think it would be cool to form one, however, I’m not really sure what we’d do. I live in Montana. There are basically no state math competitions for high school. So, my real question is, what do you do in your school’s math club?</p>
<p>Practice problems, monthly competitions with schools from the county/adjacent counties (which were started about 15 years ago or so), California Math League exam, AMC/AIME, and a final district-wide competition where teams take on real life problems (get to use measuring instruments or interact with objects to get an answer). In the past, the club has done ARML competitions.</p>
<p>During meetings we would do problems in groups or compete against each other on competitions the adviser or president puts together.</p>
<p>Here is something the juniors in the club could work on, and its possible to earn scholarship money.
[SIAM:</a> Moody’s Math Challenge](<a href=“http://m3challenge.siam.org%5DSIAM:”>http://m3challenge.siam.org)</p>
<p>No experience with this one, but maybe this?
[COMAP:</a> Mathematics Instructional Resources for Innovative Educators](<a href=“http://www.comap.com/undergraduate/contests/]COMAP:”>The Mathematical Contest in Modeling (MCM)® and The Interdisciplinary Contest in Modeling (ICM)® - COMAP)</p>
<p>No experience with this one either but, it is sent to your school.
[The</a> Mandelbrot Competition](<a href=“http://www.mandelbrot.org%5DThe”>http://www.mandelbrot.org)</p>
<p>I hope this helps!</p>
