The “2026 Hong Kong-Shanghai Mathematical Modelling Competition for Secondary Students” and “Mathematical Modelling Competition for Secondary Students 2025/26”

Relevant Circulars 

The “Hong Kong-Shanghai Mathematical Modelling Competition for Secondary Schools” (hereinafter referred to as the “HSMMC”), jointly organised by EDB and Shanghai Teacher Institute, aims to provide senior secondary students of Shanghai and Hong Kong with the opportunity to solve complex real-life problems using mathematical modelling in teams, for strengthening students’ abilities in the application of Mathematics.  It also promotes exchange among students from both cities and broaden the horizons of students, while also raising the school sector’s awareness of mathematical modelling education.

Mathematical Modelling Competition for Secondary Students

The Education Bureau has commissioned the Department of Mathematics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong to organise the "Mathematical Modelling Competition for Secondary School Students" (hereinafter referred to as the "MMCSS").   The Competition is a part of the Programme on “Promoting Mathematical Modelling for Teachers and Students in Secondary School”.

In the competition, students are required to demonstrate their understanding in Mathematical Modelling and applications of Mathematics in solving a problem based on real-life scenario.  The five top-performing teams from the senior secondary division will represent Hong Kong to participate in the 2026 HSMMC tentatively scheduled for July 2026.

• Teacher Workshops

These workshops aim to facilitate teachers in developing effective learning and teaching strategies for mathematical modelling through professional training and experience sharing, thereby enhancing their professional capabilities in promoting STEAM education through Mathematics, and providing them with opportunities to share their teaching experiences in promoting mathematical modelling.  The teacher workshops will also cover learning and teaching strategies for preparing students for the MMCSS 2025/26. Enrollment is now open on EDB’s Training Calendar System.  The course ID is CSD020260229.  Please refer to the Training Calendar System for relevant information.

• Student Workshops

• These workshops aim to enhance students’ ability to apply mathematical modelling in solving real-life and STEAM-related problems and use appropriate information technology tools (including AI tools) to solve problems, and develop their knowledge and skills in writing mathematical modelling reports.
