What's a ZIP file and what do I do with it?
ZIP files are "archives" used for distributing and storing files. ZIP files contain one or more files. Usually the files "archived" in a ZIP are compressed to save space. ZIP files make it easy to group files and make transporting and copying these files faster.MathCamp uses ZIP files to allow you to download all versions of an activity (document) in one fell swoop. Meaning that if you download the ZIP version of an activity, then you are automatically getting every other available version of the activity. However, you must take an extra step. ZIP files are "archives" and therefore you must get the files out of the archive. To do so, you will need an un-zipping program, such as WinZip. If you are still having problems with ZIP files, don't hesitate to ask us.
