Homework 1

• Look through some past Math Field Day problems (High school Mad Hatter and Leap Frog; see below) and find 10 problems for the PSP with high schoolers, making sure that different topics are represented. Topics discussed last year (see http://mail.csufresno.edu/~mnogin/mfd-prep.html may be included, but limit the number of problems on those. For each problem you find, record its source: event/part, grade level, problem number. Copy or print the problem.
• Solve any four of the Mad Hatter problems you selected (Leap Frog problems have solutions posted).
