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...
In this practice plan, Mathletes will recognize visual patterns and practice defining them numerically in order to find the number of elements in the pattern after a large number of repetitions.
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...
This plan will introduce Mathletes to The Fundamental Counting Principle – a faster method to determining the total number of possible outcomes of an event without listing them all out!
Using the commutative, associative and distributive properties, Mathletes will arrange arithmetic problems in a different order that allows them to be solved more readily.
