[SEOMTC] FW: [Teachers' Net] expii solve problem sets

[Klein, Bob]

SEOMTC’ers-
I’ve talked with Po-Shen and seen a demonstration of the resource mentioned below. It is truly excellent and I encourage you to push students to it. On the surface, it seems like “just five problems” but at it’s heart, it’s about finding and supporting good problem solvers. It’s close to the heart of our community in SEOMTC. Try it for yourself then pass along to students.
Sincerely,
Bob Klein

>I wanted to let you know about a new resource from expii.com call "expii solve": https://www.expii.com/solve It is a set of 5 interesting problems released approximately weekly, composed by U.S. International Math Olympiad team coach Po-Shen Loh for a high school+ audience and intended to be highly appealing and easily explored with mobile devices. The idea is to build math appreciation and problem-solving skills in an engaging and accessible way. Each problem also includes links to definitions, explanations of concepts, and other background information that might be useful in solving the problem.
