Press Release Fun: Mathical Book Prize Now Accepting Submissions for 2016

September 9, 2016 by Betsy Bird   Leave a Comment

mathical-book-prize-logo-vertical-rgb-transparent-200px-wide-150dpiOh, my stars and garters.  You lucky authors out there that have written books with math in them in some way are in for a treat.  The Mathical Book Prize is now accepting submissions from all comers, be they picture books, middle grade, or YA.  What is this prize of which I speak?  In its own words:

The 2017 Mathical Book Prize seeks both new and previously published titles that connect literacy to encouraging children in grades PreK-12 to engage in mathematical thinking!

Mathical Winners and Honor Books come from all genres and publishers, and include fiction, nonfiction, poetry and picture books, introductions to big ideas in science and technology, biographies of people around the world who loved math, and more.

Mathical Books aren’t textbooks or workbooks, but stories that include a wide variety of topics that build math literacy, encourage exploration, and inspire kids to see math as a way to interact with the world around them. For a list of previous winners and honor books, visit www.mathicalbooks.org.

The Mathical Book Prize is organized by the Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) in Berkeley, California, in partnership with the National Council for Teachers of English (NCTE) and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), two of America’s largest professional educator associations.

Deadline for submission: September 22, 2016

  • 2017 Mathical Book Prize Call for Submissions (PDF)

  • 2017 Mathical Book Prize publisher title submission form (Microsoft Excel)

  • 2017 Mathical Book Prize individual title submission form (web)

So get on this, people.  Math doesn’t get a lot of attention these days.  Let’s see what we can’t do to turn a little attention its way.
