10 Suggestions For Sponsors From Sponsors 

  1. Participate in Mu Alpha Theta Contests: the Rocket City Math League, Log1 Contest, and Mathematical Minutes Video Contest.
  2. Hold weekly meetings via Zoom or Microsoft Teams. 
  3. Issue challenges to your members, like: "Record yourself sneaking math puns into conversations throughout the day", “Try to work a math vocab word into every conversation”, or "Make a video where you explain a simple math topic as if it's very complicated".
  4. Invite guest speakers to talk to your chapter (over Zoom) about how math plays a role in their lives and occupations. 
  5. Plan a virtual math activity for the elementary and middle schools in your county. 
  6. Check out MAA's AMC Kahoot!, which takes place every Wednesday at 3:30 pm ET. Members can make their own Kahoot!s to help instruct younger members on typical math contest problems. 
  7. Try putting together a virtual math tournament for your school or another school. 
  8. Participate in virtual contests. 
  9. Members could make a list of topics they'd be interested in learning about, and then they could make short videos on those subjects for their chaptermates to watch. Lists might include famous mathematicians, current unsolved problems, important formulae, etc.
