◇ Ramanujan’s famous formula for pi converges not just fast, but quadratically fast. I do want to share a few fun mathematical titbits that I learned: While you cannot submit graphs of copyrighted images, you may submit graphs of works that are in the public domain.Having some time on my hands during a recent plane flight, I read this little book “The Computer as Crucible: An Introduction to Experimental Mathematics” by Borwein and Devlin: It is a pretty specialized read so I won’t recommend it (even though I enjoyed it a lot).

We are accepting international submissions. Questions? Contact us at response to recent questions, we’d like to clarify a few points:ġ. ◾ This Desmos Classroom File Cabinet on. ◾ Learn how to graph line segments or parts of curves. ◾ Introduction to the Graphing Calculator It is the teacher’s responsibility to ensure their students abide by local data privacy laws.īrand new to graphing with Desmos? Not so new, but want to learn more? Check out any of these links to get started. ◾ Before distributing prizes, we reserve the right to verify students’ eligibility and application information.

Specifically, submitted graphs may not include the use of content that is not the intellectual property of the person who made the graph. We cannot accept submissions that include copyrighted images. ◾ All graphs must be the original work of the student. ◾ All graph submissions must be created using /calculator. Prior to announcing any finalists or winners, we will contact the responsible adult of each finalist to determine how to contact and credit the student. ◾ When submitting, Desmos will collect only the responsible adult’s contact information along with students’ graphs. ◾ Each student may only enter one graph in the contest, although the responsible adult may submit multiple students’ entries at the same time. ◾ Each entry must be submitted by a responsible adult (teacher or parent), NOT by the students themselves. ◾ We have excluded students under the age of 13 from this contest due to various international age restrictions in online privacy laws. Submit graphs based on the age you will be on May 1, the date we announce winners. We will follow up by email with teachers or parents who submit graph entries that are selected to be finalists to ensure that we can properly credit the student. All submissions must be made on or before April 30th, 2020 at 11:59 p.m. Although we will only accept one graph entry per student, our form allows a teacher to upload graphs for multiple students if they desire. Here’s a Google form where teachers and parents can submit entries.

In addition, teachers can submit in bulk on behalf of their students. Students can submit their entries through the Graphing Calculator on. ◾ A Desmos-sponsored pizza party (or equivalent) for the entire class ◾ Desmos T-shirts for the winning student and their teacher In each age category, the following prizes will be awarded:Īll Finalists (including top 3 prize winners):Īll 30 finalists, including the top three in each category, will receive:

All 30 finalists’ graphs will be featured on our website and will then proceed to a final round of judging by a panel of guest judges. Ten finalists in each of the three age categories will be selected by our in-house panel of judges. There are lots of ways to show this, such as: Want to impress our judges? We’re looking for submissions that have some combination of the following:ĭelight. (Original means that (a) you made it yourself and (b) it doesn’t contain any copyrighted images.) Your original art created in the Desmos Graphing Calculator. Judging will be based on three age categories: So this year, we’re running our first-ever Desmos Global Math Art Competition!Īny student aged 13–18 may submit a Desmos graph to the competition via their teacher or a parent. We’ve been so excited about the beautiful and creative math art that is being produced with Desmos that we wanted to create a space for students from around the world to submit entries and win prizes for their hard work.
