Hillsborough County Public Schools hosted an engaging Math Homework Hotline on February 3, 2025, focusing on the vital topic of systems of equations. The lively session, led by hosts Maggie Mixon and Kannelle Paredo, encouraged students to call in for help with their math homework while also offering exciting prizes for participation.

The highlight of the evening was a challenge question that asked students to determine which points were solutions to a given system of equations. The hosts emphasized the importance of this topic, stating that systems of equations are foundational in mathematics, applicable from pre-algebra through college. Students were urged to call in with their answers, with the first correct response earning the title of "Demi winner" for the night.

In addition to the math challenge, the show featured a competitive element for teachers, with the top three educators from the month being recognized. Miss Garrison from York was leading the pack, with Mr. Cooper and Miss Tite close behind. The hosts reminded viewers that participation not only benefits students but also helps their teachers win prizes, fostering a collaborative spirit in the learning community.

As the show progressed, the hosts shared details about the prizes, including Math Homework Hotline t-shirts, gift bags, and food vouchers from local restaurants. They also celebrated last week's challenge winner, Nikkita, who was excited to receive her award at school.

The Math Homework Hotline continues to be a valuable resource for students, blending education with fun and competition, while reinforcing the importance of math skills in everyday life.
