On Saturday, the Washington Student Math Association (WSMA), a nonprofit organization, will be hosting an expo event at the Redmond Regional Library, 15990 N.E. 85th St., to teach kids of all ages different aspects of math.

The event will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. and feature puzzles and games as well as a competition with prizes.

The WSMA is dedicated to the promotion of math-related activities, especially concerning math enrichment, throughout the state of Washington. It is led and run by students in the Puget Sound area, with a small board of senior directors as advisors.

In its third year of operation and second generation of leadership, the WSMA is looking to expand its reach to the entire state and is already doing so through online methods including the Electronic Data Initiative, which is part of a centralization process of math competitions throughout the state. Through this service, students all across the state can access past competition tests and practice tests to prepare for future competitions on various levels and for grades ranging from elementary to high school.

In 2011, the WSMA hosted its first-ever Math Bowl, which was an inter-school competition for high school and middle school students. Students throughout the Puget Sound region attended.

The WSMA has also held tutoring expos for math enrichment, among other events. As the organization expands locally, it is aiming now to spread its services more broadly outside the current regions.
