I know it sounds sad, but this is probably one of the only things I was looking forward to during the pandemic last year and this year. The only days I really have to time to write this is spring break, but that's okay.
Hello sir. This is very exciting but are we aiming the essay (for the competition) at someone who has no clue about maths accept for basic counting or can we aim it towards someone who can at least do high school maths. Edit: by high school I meant gcse maths. And also, you talked about high school students getting a student prize, was that meant to be the british version of high school (where we go until we are 16) or the american version (where they go up until they are 18)? This was the part that confused me a bit. Thank you.
The high school prize is for ages 18 and under. As or the content, it should ideally be able to be understood by someone who has completed high school maths (or GCSE as you say).
No hard limit, but the guideline is 1000-2000 words. You can find all of the entries from last year (including the winners) here: tomrocksmaths.com/2020/05/13/teddy-rocks-maths-essay-competition-awards/
