Example: CM200 – Student Name – Feb 18th Wednesday

Class Description: This one-year (two semesters) course is intended for students who enjoy solving challenging mathematical problems while expanding their knowledge beyond regular classroom settings. This class also helps young students improve their study skills such as note taking, presenting solutions, etc. As our other problems solving courses, this is not a boot camp for any particular competition. However, students who participate our programs perform well in them.

What will be covered: All 4 subjects (Pre-Algebra/Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory, and Combinatorics) will be covered in this one-year class.

Difficulty Level: Up to easy AMC8 and Mathcounts School Round.

Time Required: Students are expected to attend the weekly 2-hr lecture and the optional weekly 45-minute TA session where the teacher will go over each week’s homework problems and answer any questions students might have. Students are expected to spend around 1 hour on homework problems each week.

Who should take this course: Students who would like to improve their problem solving skills and improve scores in competitions such as AMC8, MathCounts, Math League, TMSCA, etc.

Qualifying Test: Required for students in 6th grade or below

Recommended Grades: 7

Max Class Size: 12 – 15

Note: After you add CM200 to your cart, you will be on the waiting list until it is approved by our staff (usually within one business day). If the student is in 5th Grade or below, the student will need to take the qualifying test first unless you have finished both CM101A and CM101B. After it is approved, you will receive an invoice. If it is not approved or if we need any additional information, we will contact you via email or phone.

Who should skip this course: Students who scored 250+ on TMSCA Number Sense and 150+ on TMSCA General Math or 150+ on MathLeague.org contests.
