After refreshing Mathletes on the order of operations, the video will then focus on how to solve problems where an unfamiliar symbol is defined to be a new type of operations that follows given rules.
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...
An important formula to know, the difference of squares identity is derived geometrically in the video for this practice plan. Mathletes will then try to recognize the difference of squares structure...
Explore measures of central tendency, specifically mean and median, by solving common types of MATHCOUNTS problems related to sets of numbers. Use the extension at the end to develop a rule for...
Addition and subtraction may sound easy for middle schoolers, but what if you are missing some digits? What if you want to maximize or minimize a result? This plan focuses on some common types of...
Mathletes will analyze frequency tables, histograms, stem-and-leaf plots and other visual representations to solve problems about sets of data. In the extension, Mathletes will analyze a set of data...
This plan focuses on all things percents. Mathletes will practice with tips, markups, markdowns, interest and percent of quantity scenarios. Use the 'would you rather' questions in the extension to...
Understanding and applying ratios can be used in a variety of problems, from finding a missing measurement to determining scale between similar figures. Mathletes will solve problems using ratios...
