New
Math Contest author for 2009-10
The YSL.com kids' math competition will have a new
author for 2009-10. This one will be a high school student,
rather than a math teacher. Senior George Yu will create the
math puzzles for this year. Rules and prizes will be the same
but Fun with Math will be in the hands of a
kid. The contest starts in October.
