Calculating the least common multiple is something many Mathletes are asked to do, but in this plan they will use their understanding of the least common multiple to stretch themselves to solve more...
The July 4 holiday is one that many people plan their summer vacations around. Peggy works a Monday through Friday job that has the following July 4 holiday policy. If July 4 falls on a weekend...
It is time to rebuild the houses destroyed by two Category 5 hurricanes! 4 Engineers will work together to solve for the missing measurement of the triangular government lot. They need to think and...
This plan will help Mathletes to develop a strategic approach to counting the occurrences of a certain shape in a more complex figure made of multiple intersecting lines.
This plan builds on what Mathletes already know about ratios to introduce the definition of probability as a ratio of desired outcomes to total outcomes. Mathletes will then practice calculating the...
Explore combinatorics by looking at a common type of MATHCOUNTS counting problem – counting paths between two points. End with an extension that connects counting paths to another type of combinatoric...
