Purple Comet
About
The Purple Comet! Math Meet is an annual, international online team mathematics competition designed for middle school (grades 6-8) and high school (grades 9-12) students. Established in 2003, its mission is to provide an accessible yet rigorous mathematical challenge to students around the world. Participating teams consist of up to six members who collaborate in real-time to solve a set of original, non-standard problems within a fixed time limit (60 minutes for middle school and 90 minutes for high school). The program is unique because it is entirely free of charge, removing financial barriers to entry and attracting thousands of teams from dozens of countries each year. By fostering a team-oriented competitive environment, it helps students develop high-level problem-solving skills and mathematical intuition.
