DescriptionHigh School Mathletes ​ The High-School-Mathletes program is designed for 9th and 10th graders (and very talented/ brave students in lower grades). Students train for AMC10, Purple Comet, and Math Kangaroo. Homework is strongly encouraged. Problems will come from previous AMC10/12, Purple Comet, Mathcounts State/ National, Math Kangaroo, and Fan4 Level 3 Competitions. We will also pursue advanced math topics in a wide range of areas, including algebra, geometry, number theory, and counting & probability. All answers are processed online. For questions about placement, please contact Coach K at sandykandel@gmail.com

DescriptionMiddle School Mathletes ​ The Middle-School-Mathletes programs are designed for 6th, 7th, and 8th graders (and very talented/ brave students in lower grades). Students train for a range of Middle School Math Competitions, including Math Olympiad (Division E and M), AMC8, Mathcounts, Purple Comet, and Fan4. In the past some of our students have achieved the highest MOEM awards for individuals and teams. This is a great opportunity to challenge our students and to prepare them for competitions they will continue to tackle throughout Middle School. The problems are hard - but within reach. ​ Homework is strongly encouraged. Problems will come from old competitions, textbooks, the Mathcounts School Handbook, and a variety of other sources. All answers are processed online. ​

Mathletes Online
by Math Culture
DescriptionMathletes ​ Students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grade will tackle fun problems from Math Olympiads, Math Kangaroo and Fan4. They will also participate in both formal and informal team competitions. Mathletes will be solving challenging problems every week in practice. Our proprietary curriculum is available online and through print-outs. As a result, students have the opportunity to tackle fun challenges throughout the week in practice AND at home. We have organized problems into progressively more difficult problem sets. This gives Mathletes multiple opportunities to feel successful. All answers can be processed online, giving students immediate feedback. We will take 5 Olympiads during our regularly scheduled practices. Our team will be in Division E (4th, 5th, and 6th graders). Each Olympiad contains 5 problems and lasts ~30 minutes. Students are encourage to participate in Math Kangaroo as well, either through their school or through the CKMathletes Online option. Younger students can participate in Junior Olympiads. Almost every week we will take an excursion and explore a logic puzzle, math game, building challenge, or topic from graph theory. This enables students to further develop their spatial intelligence, capacities for deductive reasoning and pattern recognition, number sense, and more. Homework is strongly encouraged.

Algebra+
by Math Culture
DescriptionAlgebra+​ ​ The Algebra+ class will be aligned with the Algebra I standard curriculum, but will seek to be different in a few important ways. 1) The Set Up: When it comes to word problems, many students struggle with creating the correct equations to set up the problem. The same issues exist with Geometry - most of the hard work is creating the algebraic set-up. Our program will spend significant time practicing setting up problems. 2) Desmos: Our program will spend significant time using Desmos (a powerful online graphing tool) to bring algebra to life. In Desmos, we can create a range of geometric 'targets,' from the simple to the very complex and beautiful. Students (and adults) love Desmos. It enables them to be creative explorers, and in this class will give them a real sense of the power of algebra. 3) Gaps: We will fill in important gaps. As an example, in this class students will memorize the quadratic formula and know how to use it. They will also understand the derivation both from an algebraic and geometric point of view. Students will also be introduced to Viete’s Formulas, a beautiful piece of mathematics that relates the coefficients of a polynomial to its roots. 4) Creative Problem Solving: Problems from the CMMS textbook (chapter 1) will be incorporated into the Algebra+ curriculum, along with additional competition questions for those students who want an additional challenge. Because many students enrolled in MSM II will be enrolled in Algebra I in school as 7th or 8th graders, we view Algebra+ and MSM II as companion courses.
