Competition Math Class – Grades 1-5 (Not Currently Offered)
Students who take this course will be introduced to problems that are commonly seen in various math competitions such as Number Theory and Combinatorics. We encourage joint participation in the MathRocks! Contest Series while participating in this class as each month we will go over the more challenging problems students encountered during the MathRocks! competition. Students will also have the opportunity to make friends with other participants so that they may see familiar faces on competition day.
Competition Team Prep Classes -Grades 6 and Above (Not Currently Offered)
There are two class series offered: Competition Trigonometry and Number Theory. Students will be assigned approximately 1.5 hours of homework to be completed online each week. Competition Team Development Program members, especially those in middle school, are encouraged to participate. Minimum of 4 students required to run and a maximum of 16 students per class.
Competition Trigonometry
Description: This course is designed to provide students with a comprehensive exploration of basic and intermediate trigonometric concepts. We will be particularly emphasizing their practical applications in the context of competition math. Whether you already have some background in trigonometry or are just starting out, this class aims to deepen your understanding and enhance your problem-solving skills.
Prerequisites: A basic understanding of triangles, angles, fractions, and confidence with algebra is required for this course.
Number Theory
Description: This course is designed to provide students an understanding of key number theory concepts that will benefit them both in math competitions and in high school math. This class will move quickly and cover lots of material.
Prerequisites: Must be comfortable with division, remainders, fractions, integer exponents and basic equations.
Games Clubs – Grades 3-5 (Not Currently Offered)
Games are a great way to explore new math ideas and develop stronger problem solving & strategy skills. At each meeting of Game Club, kids will play their game(s) of choice from the set of game options provided. The games will vary from week to week but throughout the semester will include board games, card games, dice games, chess, and more.
Crafts & Problem Labs – for Grades 3-6 (Not Currently Offered)
There are so many math crafts and labs that allow kids to create solutions to problems and this class is all about doing them! Expect lots of cutting, gluing, designing, and display worthy items! Fee includes materials costs.
All participants are required to have a completed waiver on file. One waiver is good for the program year 7/1/2025 through 6/30/2026.
