The Mathematics Project Competition for Secondary Schools is organised by the Mathematics Education Section, Innovation Technology Education Division, Education Bureau. It aims at promoting students’ interest in learning Mathematics and developing students’ generic skills through project learning. The competition comprises two categories: Category A (Junior secondary project) and Category B (S1 mini-project).

Minimum Area of Triangle Enclosed by a Rubber Band on a "n×n" Geoboard
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
Beyond the traditional constraints of Pick’s Theorem, allowing a rubber band to twist and intersect itself on a geoboard forms triangles with areas smaller than 1/2 square units. In this project, we are investigating the minimal enclosed areas by three straight lines on an “n×n” geoboard for various values of n.

The Infinity Walls Inside a Finite City
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
In this project, we designed a defensive city to protect against a giant who wants to reach the center and occupy the city. Our city uses a series of walls in two different shapes: circles (annular) and triangles (trigonal).

The Math of Winning Uno: A Statistical Investigation
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
This project uses Monte Carlo simulations in Python to evaluate Uno strategies. Comparing defensive card-hoarding with aggressive play, results show the aggressive strategy achieves higher win rates and average scores. Through Expected Risk and Payoff Matrix analysis, the study demonstrates mathematically that continuous attacking is the most effective strategy for winning Uno.

A Mathematical Modelling for Evaluating Optimal Classroom Layout
Theme of the Portfolio
Introduction
This project evaluates optimal classroom layouts for 34 students, comparing traditional grid, butterfly, and horseshoe layout. By developing a mathematical model to score layouts based on flexibility, visibility, and safety, we aim to determine the arrangement of seats which is mathematically optimal for students.
