The Metroplex Math Competition is an essay type mathematics contest given to students at participating high schools and middle schools, most of whom are in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area. The Math Competition packets are mailed out to the schools, proctored locally, and then returned to math circle instructors and educators for grading.
The following weekend, there is an awards ceremony with prizes for individuals and schools, lunch for everybody, and a math lecture by a distinguished mathematician. The University of Texas at Dallas will host the contest and the award ceremony.
