IT STARTS WITH A CUBE | ||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
A cube or a stack of cubes is the starting point for many rich problems involving even more math concepts. Work your way through factors, combinatorics, volume, surface area, networks, and more by solving Math Olympiad problems. A dozen of these 4-6 minute cube problems provide a fresh approach to these topics. As a participant, you will receive over 50 additional Math Olympiad problems to take back to your students. |
