History

SEAMC is a mathematics collaboration experience for school students located in South or North East Asia to come together for 2-3 days.[ citation needed ]

SEAMC was conceived of by Steve Warry, who taught at Alice Smith School in Kuala Lumpur. [2] He organised SEAMC in March 2001. He died one week prior to the first competition. [2] Teams competed for the Warry Cup, which is named in Steve's honour. [3]

From 2014, the NEAMC sister event has been organised for students in Northeast Asia.[ citation needed ] [7] The organizers enlisted the Nanjing International School to host it initially in February 2014 with the help of Malcolm Coad. [2] [8]

In 2017, the SNEAMC family of events became the World Mathematics Championships. [2]

Format

Each school enters teams of 3 students each. [2] The competition has nine rounds. [2]

All WMC qualifying competitions have:

School teams engage within the Communication skills rounds.[ citation needed ]

The Collaboration skills rounds (Open, Lightning and Innovation) are in buddy teams of three. [2] The Challenge are skills rounds undertaken as individuals.

Three skills rounds are (subject specific skills and procedures) knowledge based, three are (plan and execute) strategy focused and three depend upon (new and imaginative ideas) creativity.[ citation needed ]

So each strategy, creative and knowledge skill category is engaged in alone, in school teams and in buddy teams.[ citation needed ]

Past questions can be found around the web. [6]

In many SEAMC competitions, there are initial icebreaker events. [5]

Prizes

The better ranked teams across all of the competition venues that year are invited to the ultimate World Mathematics Championships showdown, hosted by Trinity College, University of Melbourne in the following July each year.[ citation needed ]
