Dec 18 Meeting

At the Dec 18 meeting we went over some of the more difficult unsolved problems.

We also practiced the use of calculators which are allowed in the Target round. The first timers did Workout 1 and the others Workout 6.

Mathcounts does not impose limits in terms of how powerful the calculator can be as long as it does not have a QWERTY-style keyboard (and ABCDE style keyboard is ok). It is important, however, that you use a calculator you are familiar with. For most problems, a simple calculator will do fine.

Materials:

• Slides
• Workout 1
• Workout 6
