MATHCOUNTS OPLET! There are three formats available for output: worksheet, flashcard and Problem of the Day. Follow the steps below to view a sample of OPLET's selection and extraction process for the worksheet format.
Worksheet The screens below provide an overview of the process for creating a worksheet from OPLET's database of 10,000 MATHCOUNTS problems. We will request 8 algebra problems, selected from the years 2000-2004, with a randomly sampled level of difficulty. The selection tool also shows MATHCOUNTS usage, which in this case, will be set to "Standard problem without calculator usage (Sprint Round and Warm-Up)." STEP 1: Select Your Format This screen features the "Worksheet" format and asks the user to add a title. An additional step allows the user to add a space for the student's name at the top of the page. 
STEP 2: Select a Math Concept, MATHCOUNTS Usage, Difficulty Level and Date Range In the second stage of OPLET's worksheet selection, users have the ability to choose from a number of math concepts including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, counting and probability, number theory and random sampling. Users may also select the desired MATHCOUNTS usage: • Standard problem without calculator usage (Sprint Round and Warm-Up) • Standard problem with calculator usage (Target Round, Workout, Stretch) • Team problem with calculator usage (Team Round) • Quick problem without calculator usage (Countdown Round) • Random Samplings The difficulty level is based on a scale of 1 (Easy) to 5 (Difficult) and users may also select a random sampling of difficulty levels. Problems may be selected from blocks of five years, from 1990 to the present, or the computer can select problems randomly from all years entered.  CLICK HERE TO MOVE TO THE NEXT SCREENS
