"Thanks so much for providing an opportunity to showcase math work on your nifty website. Math Rocks and it's great to spread the word."

"At our school assembly today we shared our two winning projects with the approximately 600 girls at our JK - Grade 12 school. The feedback was fantastic. Thank you for helping to inspire our students to enjoy math as a performance activity."
