Math Day
Planning for the 50th Annual UWG Math Day, to be held March 4, 2022, is currently underway! Additional/updated information will be posted as details are finalized.
Math Day is sponsored by the UWG Department of Computing and Mathematics.
Additional information regarding registration will be posted at a later date.
Each school can bring in a maximum of 12 students, 3 for each subject level.
Registration will be closed on February 21, or when 200 students have been registered--whichever happens first.
You will have an opportunity to make substitutions on your roster when you check in on-site at Math Day; however you will not be able to add additional students on-site.
