What is a National Math Trail Submission?

Submissions are math problems based on mathematics your students find in your community, neighborhood or geographical region. The problem should reflect something unique about your area, since one of the goals of the Trail is to share information about the fascinating variety of life and work and creativity that exists in America's communities.
