Advanced Topics

This class is designed for students going into grade 7 or above who are well capable of qualifying for USA(J)MO  that is, with an Adjusted 2010 USAMO index* of 100 and above. The classes for this group will help students develop their skills and proof writing techniques in advanced topics covered in high end math competitions. We will focus on solving medium and hard levels USAMO and IMO problems.

*Adjusted 2010 USAMO indexis calculated using the following formula:

              (AIME score - 9 ) x 10 + USA(J)MO score x 3 or

              (AIME score - 9 ) x 10 + USAMO score x6

AIME Level III and Math Olympiads

This class is designed for students going into grade 7 or above who are capable of qualifying for USA(j)MO; that is , with an Adjusted 2010 USAMO index* in between 40 and 100. We will focus on solving the hard level AIME, medium and hard levels of USAJOM and entry and medium levels USAMO problems.

AMC 12 / AIME Level II (for students with 2010 AMC 10 score of 120 and above, or AMC 12 score of 95 and above)

The classes for this group will help students to make transition from AMC 10 to AMC 12. The hard problems in AMC 12 and medium to hard level problems of AIME will be the focal points of this group. We will also introduce some elementary proofs (USAJMO lelve) requiring strong Algebra skills and board geometry knowledge.

AIME Level I (for students with 2010 AMC 10 score of 100 - 120 or AMC 12 score of 75 - 95)

We will focus on solving hard level AMC 10 problems, medium to hard level AMC 12 problems, and entry to medium level AIME problems. We will also introduce general methods and concepts for mathematical proof, such as induction, proof by contradiction, invariants and monovariants, well ordering, and the Pigeonhole Principle

AMC 10 (for young students with 2010 AMC 10 score 80 or above)

The classes for this group will help experienced young students to extend their grasp of algebraic and geometric tools and develop their combinatorial and number theory problem solving skills while helping them prepare for MATHCOUNTS national, AMC 10 tests.

Math Roots (9:30 am - 12:45 pm)

Math Roots is best for students just beginning their problem-solving careers, perhaps at the level of the MATHCOUNTS School and Chapter rounds. We help them to gain a solid grasp of the fundamental algebra and geometry skills that will guide them throughout the rest of middle school and high school.

Math Stretch(2:00 pm - 5:15 pm)

The classes for this group are designed to help students solidify and deepen their command of algebra and geometry while helping them prepare for MATHCOUNTS chapter, state and AMC 8/10 tests. We will focus on AMC 8 tests and entry to medium level AMC 10 problems.
