Al-Quds University, in partnership with the Ministry of Education and the Partners in Sustainable Development Foundation, has launched the 2020 Math Competitions, prepared by the university’s Math Museum. The competitions include the Educational Math Teaching Aids Production Competition, the Poly-Up Competition for machine-building connected to computational mathematics, and the Super Pi Palestine Competition. Students and their teachers from grades 9-12 across various Palestinian regions are invited to participate.
Jihad Abu Al-Kabash, head of the Math Museum, highlighted that the competition targets creative students and their teachers in various fields of mathematics, such as geometry, topology, algebra, number theory, arithmetic, calculus, and applied mathematics, among others, with the goal of producing innovative teaching aids to clarify theoretical concepts in mathematics.
He noted that this year marks the second consecutive Educational Math Teaching Aids Production Competition following last year’s success. Additionally, this will be the eleventh year of the Super Pi competition organized by the museum, alongside the first-ever Poly-Up competition. Abu Al-Kabash expressed his hope for the success of all competitions and their future development in collaboration with the Ministry of Education and all partners to benefit school students, their teachers, and the university.
Al-Quds University, known for its commitment to development, community service, and educational advancement, has organized numerous impactful activities with the Ministry of Education. The university emphasizes the importance of partnerships with community institutions, focusing on stimulating interest in STEM fields, the humanities, and other areas. Official celebrations for these competitions will be held on Saturday, March 14, 2020, coinciding with International Day of Mathematics. Events from around the world will be broadcast live through the International Mathematical Union (IMU) platforms, of which the Math Museum at Al-Quds University is an active member.
