I really like the main idea "The main value of math contests is to be found in wonderful mathematics it can draw students into discovering. Not only do they discover mathematics, but they can also discover the joys of working hard towards shared goals with a community of kindred spirits." <br /><br />Author didn't stop there but given a cool example of Mountain Hiking to compare math contests. <br /><br />I print 18 copies and give one each to my students to motivate them towards more math.<br /><br />I stumble upon this page while searching for teacher community for networking and tell math community about our site on <a href="http://www.fractionsworksheets.ca" rel="nofollow">fractions</a> to print free lessons and worksheets.<br /><br />Great regards<br />Manjit.Manjithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09161629919203395902noreply@blogger.com
