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...
Using the commutative, associative and distributive properties, Mathletes will arrange arithmetic problems in a different order that allows them to be solved more readily.
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...
Learn what Mass Points are and how to use them to solve problems involving side lengths and areas of triangles. Mass Points Part 1 (above) covers the fundamentals of Mass Points, while Mass Points...
