Overview
The Metrobank-MTAP-DepEd Math Challenge is a national school mathematics contest organised jointly by the Metrobank Foundation, the Mathematics Teachers Association of the Philippines (MTAP) and the Department of Education (DepEd). The official pages could not be opened during research, so these details come from a secondary description and should be confirmed with MTAP.
