This year’s event, now in its fifth edition, is a competition independently administered by Math Master for students from 3rd grade in elementary school to 1st grade in middle school nationwide. To enable an objective assessment of each student’s mathematical thinking and problem-solving abilities, the questions were designed based on the elementary and middle school curriculum, ranging from basic to advanced and applied problems. Since it was first held in 2018, the cumulative number of test takers has exceeded 2,700 as of this year’s competition.

The competition took place simultaneously on the 17th of last month across 10 regions nationwide. Math Master selected top-performing students in each grade and awarded a total of 180 students with trophies and certificates: 1st prize (5 students), 2nd prize (12 students), 3rd prize (13 students), and Encouragement Prize (150 students). In particular, every award recipient received an individual result report containing an analysis of their performance and their strengths and weaknesses by question type, helping them concretely plan their future study direction.

A representative of Math Master said, "The KSMC Mathematics Competition is a competition that values process and growth more than results. What matters most is the experience of children facing their abilities objectively and setting goals to challenge themselves to the next level," adding, "We will continue to run this mathematics competition that provides systematic feedback so that students can keep challenging themselves with confidence in their math skills."
