Ada and Zuri are two kids from Oaxaca, Mexico, who really love math and wanted to go to a big contest in Singapore called the International Math Olympiad Challenge. Their families and friends helped them by selling cakes and raffle tickets so they could get enough money for the long trip. Ada and Zuri worked hard, and with everyone’s help, they flew all the way to Singapore to show their math skills and meet other children from many countries.
In Singapore, students from around the world have solved tough math problems. Ada won a silver medal, and Zuri won a bronze medal with his team and got a special mention for his good work. They learned that working together and believing in themselves can make dreams come true. Now, Ada and Zuri want to continue learning and helping others, demonstrating that effort and teamwork are crucial for achieving significant goals.
