Course Description:
AOPS Algebra II:
In Algebra II, students continue their study of algebraic functions and applications. We introduce students to the rich field of polynomials and help them to build foundations for calculus through the study of sequences and series. Students also learn a variety of important algebraic forms and functions, and the tools necessary for understanding new forms and functions they’ll encounter in the future. We also lay the groundwork for navigating optimization problems with a study of inequalities. Many of the more challenging problems of Algebra II come from contests such as AMC 10, AMC 12, AIME and the Harvard-MIT Math Tournament.
Textbook: Intermediate Algebra by Art of Problem Solving.
2024-2025 Schedule: Algebra II (G8-G10) Every Sunday 1:30PM – 3:10PM (8/18/24-5/18/25)
AOPS Pre-Algebra:
In Pre-Algebra, students review and formalize the rules of arithmetic that they learned in elementary school, building a rigorous foundation as they move into Algebra. They learn a wide range of topics, including number theory, algebra, geometry, counting, statistics, and probability. Each topic is introduced with compelling problems, including many drawn from major national math contests such as MATHCOUNTS and AMC 8.
Textbook: Prealgebra by Art of Problem Solving.
2024-2025 Schedule: Pre-Algebra (G6-G8) Every Thursday 5:530PM – 6:30PM (1/16/25-5/22/25)
Math Olympiad:
Does your child want a little more excitement and challenge from Mathematics other than his/her school course work? Join us in this class with other kids who have the same interest. This course is designed for 4th to 6th graders who are seeking for some math fun by practicing their “math muscle/brain”. We will work through the book “Creative Problem Solving in School Mathematics”. The purpose of this course is to develop students’ math problem solving strategies and critical thinking. We will do some serious math while having tons of math fun and building endless math friendships.
2024-2025 Schedule:
Beginner Math Olympiad(G4-G5): Every Friday 3:30PM – 5:00PM (1/12/25-5/18/25)
Math Olympiad Preparation:
Math Olympiad preparation course helps to develop students’ intelligence, promotes mathematical thinking, and improves application of knowledge through math logic training. Students will be introduced to sample questions step by step, from easy to complicated examples. We will focus on cultivating students’ mathematics ability, mainly the ability to calculate, think logically and imagine space. Through training, students will gradually learn to analyze, synthesize, classify, abstract, analogy and other important methods of thinking. Most importantly, students will develop scientific and mathematical habit of thinking, which will be great help to their future learning.
