Last year, a team with a Keystone student -- eighth-grader Londyn -- created a video about a math problem for the Mathcounts math film challenge, and won. Now they're going for a repeat title.
And you can help her win. The original video, "Little Figures," told a story that included solving a math problem. The sequel, "Little Figures: The Silver War Countdown" is inspired by "Black Panther" and the Avengers films.
Part of the competition is winning enough votes to make it into the Top 100 most-voted videos, and then a panel of judges evaluates the works.
Here's how to vote:
- Go to videochallenge.mathcounts.org (no www)
- Go to "My Account"
- "Create" a Mathcounts account with an email address (create a username and password) (check with a Little Figures team member for a group password to assist in daily voting)
- Validate the email address via your email inbox and the link sent to you
- Then go to "Videos"
- Type in “Little Figures” in the “search videos” box, click "go"
- View the video and vote! You can vote every 24 hours through March 14.
If you want to print out these instructions, here's a sheet that explains the process.
The video will have a theatrical premiere on Feb. 29 at Santikos Silverado, 11505 W Loop 1604. Check-in begins at 6:20 p.m.
