Math Modeling is a course taught by Ms. Durost, in which students explore topics such as number theory, statistics, and vectors. Students learn to apply their knowledge to real world situations through problems of the week, challenge problems, and competitions such as the Modeling the Future Challenge and the High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling.
Modeling the Future Challenge (MTFC) is a research competition for
high school students to explore math modeling, risk analysis, and
actuarial science. Students model real-world data regarding their
chosen topic, analyze risks, and make recommendations. After
brainstorming, my group decided to address the issue of rising
carbon dioxide levels. We plan to create a model that can predict
future emission levels and the corresponding environmental effects. To learn more,

The High School Mathematical Contest in Modeling (HiMCM) is an
international competition designed for high school students to work
with their team and use math modeling and problem-solving skills to
solve a challenging problem. In preparation for the 2025 HiMCM
competition, we formed groups and solved a past HiMCM problem. Our
group chose to work on the 2018 HiMCM Problem A, which focused on
developing an objective system to rank roller coasters. To learn
