On
Writing Numbers
While we use numbers every day,
from calculating grades to dialing phone numbers, many of their properties are
still quite mysterious. One method for trying to unravel these mysteries is to
find novel methods for writing numbers. This quickly leads to the frontiers of
mathematics.
The top sixteen Mathletes are paired
in a fast-paced, oral competition, competing against each other and the clock
to solve problems.
BACKGROUND — MATHCOUNTS
is a national program designed to improve math skills among the nation’s students.
The program focuses on middle school students who are at a crucial stage in
developing and sustaining math interest and ability. Students who do not begin
developing strong problem-solving, logical thinking and analytical abilities in
middle school will face an uphill battle later in life if they wish to pursue a
medical, scientific, mathematical, engineering or technical career.
