Refresh for Relevance Challenge

Mathematical Modeling: Reimagined, Revitalized, Always Relevant

COMAP invites educators, undergraduate and graduate students to help refresh and modernize our rich library of mathematical modeling resources. Mathematics education is evolving, and what was relevant a decade ago may no longer engage today’s diverse students. The Refresh for Relevance Challenge is an opportunity to revamp classic COMAP materials to align with contemporary classrooms, new technology, and current best practices.

What Does "Refresh" Mean?

You can refresh a module or resource in multiple ways:

  • Updating real-world contexts to make them more relevant
  • Enhancing the mathematical modeling aspect
  • Promoting inclusive practices and supporting diversity in mathematics
  • Connecting problems to new public data sets
  • Linking mathematical concepts to contemporary research
  • Incorporating technology and AI tools for enhanced learning
  • Reimagining the pedagogy to align with best practices and relevant contemporary standards
  • Adapting materials for use in modern learning environments (e.g., LMS, interactive tools, etc.)
