A lot of students are not too sure that math is part of their daily lives. Many don’t believe that math really matters. This contest is going to change that.
Through the rest of January, we will provide examples of how math is all around you. We want to inspire you to see the world in a mathematical way. To get you thinking, check out the examples of math in art, technology, food, nature, sports and fashion on your student page. How to win the contest? Submit examples of how you encounter math every day and why that’s important!
