In this webinar a Math Kangaroo instructor incorporates engagement triggers through Polls to have students participate in an activity. There are no student-teacher discussions as it happens in a regular small group class.

Webinar Presenter: Dr. Sarah Sagi - Math Kangaroo Faculty and Curriculum Expert who contributed greatly in building Math Kangaroo online curriculum. She has been teaching Math Kangaroo classes and webinars for 3 years. Dr. Sagi coached elementary school math clubs leading these students to top honors in several international math contests. She graduated from Harvey Mudd College and earned a PhD from UC San Diego in Biomedical Sciences. Dr. Sagi is a mother of four children, currently in middle school, high school, and universities. Because Dr. Sagi recognizes that each student is unique, she tries to introduce alternative methods for solving challenging math problems. This enables each student will find their favorite tools. Her hobbies include Zumba, crochet and walking.

Webinar Contributor: Kedaar Shankarnarayan- A high school sophomore from Short Hills, New Jersey. Over the past summer, Kedaar participated in a program through the school's robotics team in which they taught elementary and middle schoolers how to build and program robots. Kedaar has been taking the Math Kangaroo Exam since the fourth grade. Kedaar achieved a perfect score and been ranked first nationally three times, including this past year's exam. Kedaar wants to encourage others to succeed in solving challenging math problems.

Webinar Information:

Students in grades 7-8 with math competition experience or who are interested in competing at a high level in Math Kangaroo are invited to join the Investigating Course.
This course draws on problems from the Level 7-8 competitions, and assumes students have familiarity with problem solving strategies.
In this course, students will work with rational numbers, algebra, multiples/factors, 2D and 3D Geometry, spatial and logical reasoning, combinatorics, clocks, calendars, and percentages.
This course is intense but fun at the same time.
For added challenge, the optional homework for weeks 2-9 will be an entire Math Kangaroo exam to build the students’ persistence and stamina for the actual competition.
This webinar is planned to meet 10 times for 1 hour each.
The number of participants is limited to 300 students.

Level 7-8 Lesson Topics Set A:

1. Rational Numbers
2. Multiples and Factors
3. Algebraic Thinking
4. Percent
5. 2D Geometry
6. 3D Geometry and Spatial Reasoning
7. Clocks and Calendar
8. Combinatorics
9. Logic
10. Supplemental 2G Geometry

Lessons 2, 4, and 8 don't have handouts.

Optional Homework: for weeks 2-9 to take Math Kangaroo 30-question test to build persistence and stamina for the actual competition.
