Rationale:
The International Mathematics Open for Young Achievers (IMOYA), hosted by the Skillshare based in Singapore, can be a fundamental step where students become intuitively aware, conceptualized to arrange and recall information as they work individually or as a team utilizing their experience, knowledge and skill to solve mathematics problems. This contest engages students to a math exploratory activity which centers on relating math to the real world, making students active learners and giving them sense of achievement. The content standards in this competition are developmentally appropriate for students in the level they are participants in. The learning goal of communicating is demonstrated by students as they confront problems, translate information, and relay their findings may be orally and in writing, or both in the course of working individually or collaboratively. The working on teams’ goal is apparent as students share ideas, develop and coordinate group approaches, and learn from each other during the math activities. The IMOYA enables students to learn the tools, language, and the ways of thinking to make connections across disciplines. It provides them the opportunity to identity exploration like learning who they are, how they learn, and what they can do with their math skills duringproblem solving activity, can be the first step in connecting themselves with the global community.


 Objective:
-  Strengthen the mathematical intuition and computational skills of the students to work independently and
collaboratively.
- Provide an in-depth mathematical experience for the enrichment of the students’ reasoning ability and creative
thinking skill to solve challenging mathematics problems.
- Develop speed and precision in data gathering to enhance measurement and problem-solving skill.
- Promote cross cultural interaction thru espousing camaraderie, understanding and respect for diversity.
