History
On a snowy winter day in 2014, teachers at the Speyer Legacy School dreamed up the idea of a math competition for elementary and middle school girls, to foster their passion for math at an early age.
They enlisted the team at Math-M-Addicts to bring their idea to life. And so, GAIM was born—a community-building, mind-bending, fun-as-heck math event for girls in grades 3-8. Teams of four girls compete together to unravel mathematical puzzles inspired by phenomenal women from history.
Now in our eighth year, GAIM remains committed to bringing you a two round team competition, now online, complete with a bank of mind-bending games and activities to round out the day. We’ve also expanded the breadth of the complexity of the competition. Now that virtual is our new normal, GAIM has gone online!
We hope everyone leaves GAIM 2024 with new memories and a passion for math!
