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...
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...
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 explore interior angles of various polygons and understand how to find the number of sides a polygon has using information about its interior angles.
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...
