The Gauss Mathematics Contest, organized by the University of Waterloo in Canada, is a globally recognized competition designed for upper middle school students. It promotes logical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and mathematical curiosity—encouraging students to move beyond memorization and apply mathematics to authentic, real-world contexts.
Participation in international STEM competitions such as Gauss builds academic confidence, aligns with IBMYP learning goals, and strengthens a student’s academic portfolio and future university applications. It cultivates critical thinking, resilience, and a passion for inquiry—the very qualities that shape future statisticians, scientists, engineers, innovators, and leaders.
Here at Léman, mathematics is more than just numbers—it is a way of thinking!
