Math Counts Video Competition Results

The Math Video Challenge engaged students in project-based learning in a way that was innovative and creative.  Student teams created their own math teaching videos. Although our students did not make it as finalists in this competitive challenge they were able to connect and apply math to their own lives, and teach others in the process.

Take a look at these innovative and creative projects!
