COMPETITION FOR THE PROMOTION AND DEVELOPMENT OF MATHS MATERIAL (MATEMAKET)
‘MATEMAKET’ is a competition designed to promote and develop innovative ideas for math related workshops. It is promoted by METU DF schools to allow students to see the relativity of mathematics in a different way. This is carried out using latest skills in research, problem solving, strategy development, inquiry, creativity, critical thinking, production and cooperation.
PI DAY
On World Pi Day, our students prepare short films with given topics using technology and creativity. The aim is to make students feel that mathematics is not just a subject, but a necessity that we often use, to solve the problems we face in everyday life.
MATHEMATICS LEAGUE
Mathematics league is an interdisciplinary competition that allows students to use 21st century skills in creativity and development strategies. This competition requires one to use their physical abilities for completing math activities. Students will have the opportunity to reinforce the mathematic topics they have learnt while they are competing on these tracks.
BRAIN TEASER CLUB
A club where students are taught games to develop fast, analytical, and three-dimensional thinking abilities by putting into practice the basic skills they have already gained during their previous mathematics and geometry classes. Students who are preparing for the National Brain Teaser competition have the opportunity to discover the fun side of mathematics.
National Competitions
TUBITAK NATIONAL MATHEMATIC OLYMPICS
TUBITAK organizes the Annual National Mathematic Olympics in order to encourage high school students to conduct research in Mathematics and to contribute to the development of students in these fields. Not only are the students guided by highly trained Olympic math teachers, but also by a curriculum implemented through extra classes to represent our school in the best possible way.
TUBITAK MATHEMATICS PROJECT COMPETITION
