In a thrilling summer math showdown, 3Blue1Brown and James Schllo have unleashed the fourth edition of the epic math exposition contest. Dubbed "sum 4," this battle of mathematical wits invites creators to unleash their genius in the form of articles or videos, vying for the coveted cash prize of $1,000 sponsored by Brilliant. But hold on, there's a twist this year, folks. Instead of the usual math-for-math-enthusiasts content, the focus is on creating material that's a lifeline for struggling students in classrooms. It's a noble quest to make math more accessible and engaging for the masses.
The heart-pounding action unfolds with a peer review session where entries are scrutinized, critiqued, and ranked to determine the cream of the mathematical crop. Teachers are called to the frontline, armed with the power to judge entries based on their potential to revolutionize math education. This isn't just any contest; it's a mission to empower educators and inspire students through innovative online resources. The battlefield is set, the stakes are high, and the math world awaits the heroes who will rise to the challenge.
As the deadline of September 1st looms closer, creators are urged to unleash their creativity and craft math content that transcends the ordinary. The quest for excellence in mathematical exposition is not just about winning prizes; it's about making a lasting impact on the world of education. So, sharpen your pencils, ignite your passion for math, and join the battle for a brighter, more enlightening future. The stage is set, the gauntlet thrown – who will emerge victorious in this epic mathematical saga?
