Have you ever tried to send a family film to America's Funniest Home Videos? Did it get selected for television? Maybe your name never made it in lights there, but it might make it in the DiscoveringDigits Magazine. All you need is a family video or family photo and an essay of 100-words. You just read fifty-four words here, so how hard can it be to write 100 words? But not just any 100 word essay. We are looking for an essay about your family on vacation or at a local summer event.

Tell us how your family used math to plan the trip or take the trip. Where did you travel? How far from home did you go? What means of transportation did you use? Did you have other options? How much money did you take with you? Was it enough? Did you estimate well? How much did you spend along the way? Be creative. Think of unique ideas for your essay. Send your essay and a picture and/or video of your family having fun learning math while living life to editor@discoveringdigits.com.

No summer travel plans? Did you make food for a summer event? How did you figure out how much food was needed for all those attending? Did you have to double or triple recipes to feed everyone? How did you do that? Be creative.

I'm seeing Stars!
