Make a MATH IS ___ Poster Fun and Video Contest!
Have you seen our MATH IS video? It gives us goosebumps of joy each and every time we view it.
Students, teachers, and enthusiasts everywhere have been making posters with the words "MATH IS" followed by their answer. Would you care to make a poster too and join the fun?
Take a photo of your poster - with nothing more than the poster showing - and send it our way. We'll happily then post it on social media for you.
