Geometry Contest

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Geometry Contest?

Geometry Contest is a free educational platform covering competitive and school geometry — concept guides, contest strategy, challenge problems, and the real-world geometry that motivates all of it. Our Resources library holds the articles; our Geometry Activities cover the hands-on side.

Who is it for?

We write for curious learners of every level. That includes:

  • Students — learning geometry for class, for a test, or for a competition
  • Teachers and coaches — building lessons or looking for problems worth setting
  • Self-directed learners — returning to geometry after school
  • Anyone — who likes a diagram that turns out to be cleverer than it looked

Our articles aim for two things at once: rigor that holds up to a serious reader's scrutiny, and plain language that lets a newcomer finish without a textbook.

Can I use Geometry Contest articles in a classroom?

Yes — we encourage classroom use. Teachers may quote our articles, link to them, or assign them as reading. If you want to reproduce more than a short excerpt in printed material, please get in touch so we can confirm permissions.

Can I cite Geometry Contest in academic work?

Our articles are written to be accessible explainers, not primary research. For academic writing, treat us as a starting point and cite the primary sources we link to.

How do I report an error?

Please email us with the article URL and what you think is wrong. We treat factual corrections as a priority and will update the article, acknowledging the fix inline where appropriate.

Is Geometry Contest free?

Yes. Everything on this site is free to read and use.
