NDSU’s mathematics department hosted the Tri-College Math Contest on March 16. The contest attracted 1,794 middle and high school students from all over Minnesota and North Dakota. Participants were selected by teachers based on classroom achievement, Mathcounts testing and the student’s previous Tri-College Math Contest scores.

Each school may enter four teams, each consisting of eight members, with no more than four members in ninth grade and at least one member in seventh grade. Students participate in individual and in team competitions. Trophies and scholarships are awarded to top finishers. To view this year’s results, visit math.ndsu.nodak.edu/mathcontest.

The annual contest rotates between NDSU, Minnesota State University Moorhead and Concordia. NDSU previously hosted the competition in 2006 and 2009.
