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.
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...
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...
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...
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.
