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...
Finalist in the 2015-2016 Math Video Challenge. This video was created by The Creative Team Name. The Math Video Challenge is an innovative program involving teams of students using cutting-edge...
The distinct letters from the word MEMORIAL are used to create set Z, such that Z = {M, E, O, R, I, A, L}. The letters from the word DAY are used to create set Y, such that Y = {D, A, Y}. If set X is...
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 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.
Often the immediate reaction when Mathletes see an algebraic equation is to solve for the unknown but depending on what you are looking for it might be easier to manipulate the equation without...
