Challenge 08 has received its first video responses, courtesy of Andrew. Check them out on the Challenge 08 archive page and prepare to be astonished by the size of some of the numbers he encounters!

Speaking of the Awe of Large Numbers, Challenge 09 Part 1 is now available. Have a look and share your thoughts in a response video!

And while I have your attention, please take a moment to nominate the Collaborative Mathematics YouTube channel for inclusion in YouTube EDU. You'll need two links to do so:
  1. The nomination form, available at: https://www.youtube.com/yt/edu-whitelist/

Thanks for your support!

Dear Jason,
As a proponent of math education in the United States, we need your help to promote our nationwide math competition by blogging or posting about it on your blog/forum.

As you probably already know, despite the fact that the US spends the most money on education per capita, our students are ranked 25th globally for math proficiency. The MATHCOUNTS Foundation is a nonprofit dedicated to improving that statistic. MATHCOUNTS’ third annual “ Math Video Challenge” is a math competition for 6th to 8th graders that encourages student innovation as they create and star in their own math videos, thus exciting them to pursue higher education in math.

As the webmaster of Collaborative Mathematics, we are asking you to help support this effort by mentioning us in your next blog or forum post or promoting our logo with a link to the site. So far this contest has gathered over 500 submissions and millions of views on the videos. Our goal this year is this year is to do even better. With your help, we are confident we will reach this goal.

For more information on MATHCOUNTS or the Math Video Challenge, visit our webpages at mathcounts.org and videochallenge.mathcounts.org/math-camera-action.

Respectfully,
Jake Byrnes
