  • I really loved detective stories and mystery stories, and so I was like if I could put clue 1 and clue 2 together maybe I could get something I have never seen before… I was the detective. 

  • Math competitions give a little bit of exposure to see a variety of math they didn’t get to see before. 

  • Light up the math brain and showcase see what they can do. Students need to know that they can struggle and succeed.
