In today’s world of big data, the need and significance of finding innovative ways to learn and teach mathematics cannot be ignored.

The subject may provide a solid foundation for logic and analytics, and the development of critical aptitude in students. But let's face it, many feel that the subject is hard to interact with and difficult to grasp.

To help Pakistan simplify the way math is taught, McDonald’s has taken an initiative to introduce an innovative method of learning via the Mathmania.

With this contest, the fast-food restaurant chain is bringing an effective learning opportunity that brings with it cash prizes and scrumptious McDonald's meals.
