With the aim of generating a meeting space between eighth grade students around the discussion of ideas and experiences that can be developed through the contents of the different workshops that will be held on this occasion, in addition to participation in the Mathematics Olympiads, the third version of the JOMAT ULS day will be held, an activity that is sponsored by the Vice-Rector's Office for Research and Postgraduate Studies of the university and will have 34 students from different pedagogy careers as part of its team of volunteers. of the institution.

Among the scheduled activities, the morning session includes two didactic workshops focused on the contents: “Pythagorean Theorem” and “Multiplicative Principle in Probability”, where the objective is to bring mathematics to everyday situations that in Most of them are not treated in the classrooms of educational establishments. On the other hand, in the afternoon the Mathematics Olympiad competition will be held, where the establishments will participate in the different knowledge tests that will culminate in the Grand Final, crowning the new champion JOMAT ULS, which had the winners in its Previous versions at Colegio Santa Teresa de Illapel (2018) and Liceo Santa Marta de Vallenar (2017).
