What to Expect

What to expect in the Required section in the classroom each week:

  • A MATHCOUNTS® Mini video and a worksheet. Students need to work as many of the worksheet problems as they can.
  • Complete as many worksheet problems as you can before the webinar so that we can use the webinar time to discuss solutions.
  • A Problem of the Week, and a forum assignment where students post their solutions each week.
  • Students will be given problems to work before the webinars.

What to expect in the Highly Suggested & Optional sections in the classroom each week:

  • Bonus math problems, generally not from the MATHCOUNTS® Minis. We may or may not go through the solutions to these in the webinar, although solutions will be available on the course webpage.

What to expect during the weekly webinar:

  • Weekly webinars are 50 minutes long. Webinars are recorded and are available for students with schedule conflicts.
  • Discuss select problems from the worksheet (not the problems in the video) via microphone and chat.
