Competition Art of Problem Solving Foundation
USA Mathematical Talent Search
Free, proof-based math contest you complete from home over several weeks, with detailed written feedback on every solution you submit.
A clearer starting point
What this opportunity is really like
Here’s the short version before you leave Pathfind to investigate the official details.
What you would do
You work proof-based math problems from home over several weeks, then submit written solutions — and you get detailed written feedback on every solution you send. It's free.
Why it might be worth your time
The feedback is the real payoff: instead of just a score, you get comments on each proof you write. It's free, and the multi-week format means you work on your own schedule.
Is it a good fit?
For grades 9–12 who'd rather write proofs at their own pace than sit a timed multiple-choice exam.
