MY FAVORITE 20 MATH OLYMPIAD PROBLEMS— AND 50 MORE! | ||
|
DESCRIPTION
|
What better way to excite young minds than with these rich classic problems? Challenge your students to collaboratively discover solutions that enrich their understanding of math. Spark their imagination and energize them as they come to see math as a way of thinking rather than as a skill set. Empower them through mastery. | ||

DESCRIPTION
|
Real problems must be appropriately challenging, have multiple solution paths, and lead students to a better understanding of mathematical concepts. Using interactive teaching technology, participants will discover ways for their students (and themselves) to become better problem solvers, while preparing them for any assessment they may encounter. | ||
