The 5th Shanghai Inter-School Mathematical Modeling Challenge concluded on May 28th at the Shanghai Experimental School.

The competition lasted for three months and attracted 370 teams from 12 provinces, cities, and special administrative regions, including Shanghai, Beijing, Jilin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Henan, Sichuan, Guizhou, Guangdong, Macau, and Hong Kong.

60 teams successfully entered the poster exhibition round of the competition, and 20 teams entered the final thesis defense.  Pui Ching students Leong Ka Hou, Si Ian Meng, Che Ka Kuan, and Wong Kin Seng advanced to both the poster exhibition and thesis defense round with their paper “In exploration of board game rules with mathematical modeling”.  They attended the final thesis defense in the Shanghai Experimental School, ultimately winning the Outstanding Winner Award, the highest award in the Senior High Category. 

A total of 10 teams from Pui Ching were awarded in this year’s Mathematical Modeling Challenge.  One team won the Outstanding Winner Award, two teams won the Second Award, and seven teams won the Successful Participant Award.
