Course Description:
Art of Problem Solving: Pre-Algebra (For Students Entering G5 or G6 )
This course is concentrated on developing students’ problem-solving skills through exploring problems and discovering new ideas, as opposed to repetitive drills or pure memorization.
The textbook we selected aiming on “preparing students for the rigors of algebra and teaches students problem-solving techniques to prepare them for prestigious middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS, MOEMS, and the AMC8. “The text is written to challenge students as a much deeper level than a traditional middle school pre-algebra course.” (Quote from the author)
Topics covered in the book include the properties of arithmetic, exponents, number theory, fractions, equations and inequalities, decimals, ratio and proportions, unit conversions, and rates, percentages, square roots, basic geometry (angles, perimeter, area, triangles, and quadrilaterals), statistics, counting and probability, and more!
Schedule: 7/06/26 – 7/31/26, M-F, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Olympiad Math (For Students Entering G3 or G4 )
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 interests. 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 skills. We will do some serious math while having tons of math fun and building endless math friendships.
Schedule: 7/06/26 – 7/31/26, M-F, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM. (No classes 6/29-7/03)
Art of Problem Solving: Number Theory (For Students Entering G5 or G6 )
This course is an introduction to number theory. Topics include Prime Factorization, Divisibility, Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, Greatest Common Divisor (GCD), Euclidean Algorithm, Pythagorean Triples, Unit Digits, Linear Congruences, and Base Number Systems.
Schedule: 6/08/26 – 6/26/26, M-F, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
Pre-Olympiad Math (For Students Entering G2 or G3)
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.
Schedule: 6/08/26 – 6/26/26, M-F, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM.
Fundamental Pre-Algebra (For Students Entering G5 or G6 )
Pre-Algebra is designed to serve as the next step in elementary math education. This four-week course sets students up for success in Algebra. From numbers and operations to linear functions, students will develop problem-solving skills and logical reasoning through interactive lessons with real-life and hands-on applications.
By the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Perform operations with whole numbers, integers, fractions, and decimal
- Identify patterns, relationships, and algebraic expressions
- Utilize geometry and measurement to express spatial quantities
- Learn and understand linear and nonlinear functions
Schedule: 6/08/26 – 7/10/26, M-F, 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM (No classes 6/29-7/03)
