Last year, we told you about a new program called "Math Can Take You Places" that’s helping North Texas grade-schoolers target the five most common problem areas in fundamental math concepts. Designed by KERA with support from Travelocity, the program tackles low TAKS scores and arms fourth- through sixth-graders with the math tools they’ll need for middle school and beyond.
This year, KERA is ready to see who was paying attention! "Do the Math" is a new contest that puts both math teachers and students to the test. Formal, professional math teachers and students in grades 3 through 6 are invited to submit math words problems and original activities that illustrate how math is used in the real world. It all adds up to a chance to win cash and prizes!
The deadline for Do the Math entries is Nov. 2, 2007. Submissions will be judged by a jury of educators, and winners will be named by Nov. 30. For complete contest details and downloading entry forms, visit Do the Math.
