Photos with computer manipulation will not be judged. All correspondence must be directed through teachers ONLY, please do not have students submit materials on their own.
2011 Theme - "What's Your Angle?"
When we think of angles we think about geometry, triangles, degrees, protractors; we identify angles using rotation, mirrors or spatial perceptions. Let's look around us, inside and outside, and find the math from our point of view. Using your math knowledge, take some pictures and explain, "What's Your Angle?" !
Prizes
There will be prizes for 1st place winners in each grade cluster and the supporting teacher. The top photographs and essays will be displayed on the Math & Science Program website with the students' names.
