About this Program:
In this program, you will get the inside scoop on how to solve problems in a fun and hands-on manner. Not only will you be able to strengthen your core mathematics skills, you will also learn how to tackle international mathematical competition problems and US standardized tests such as Stanford 10, SSAT and SAT.
Our Academic Team:
We have a very strong academic team. Our instructors have extensive mathematics background, including the Head Math Teacher of one of Hong Kong's prestigious band one school, a very experienced certified mathematics specialist for US elementary schools and longtime mathematical competition coaches. All of them will have continuous mentoring from Dr. Feng and the team from Idea Math.
Our Classroom Practice:
During our classes, we will help you develop systematic methods for problem-solving rather than memorizing formulas. You will learn the structures behind mathematical questions rather than by mechanically practicing problems over and over again. Ultimately, we want you to develop strategies for exploring problems in order to understand the structure behind them. With a better understanding of each topic, coupled with added confidence, you will be able to formulate your own strategy and shortcut for each problem. This insight into the problem will make it far easier for you to complete a problem quickly and accurately.
With engaging and hands-on teaching style, our courses will combine lectures with problem-solving practices. The classes weave together knowledge, skills and techniques useful for all levels of mathematical understanding and competitions. There will be games and hands-on activities that will give you good insights into each topic. You will also be able to participate at the classroom board to explain your strategy to the class. We will also encourage discussions and exchange of ideas to stimulate thoughts on the subject.
Certificate, Assessment and Award:
All participants will be issued a certificate and a written assessment.
Your Success is Our Goal:
Solving mathematical contest problems provides a glimpse into the world of mathematics not afforded by the usual school curricula. Our goal is to help you build a solid foundation for your future academic studies. Our mission is to give you an opportunity to learn more concepts and acquire strategies, hone your skills and seek connections beyond mathematics.
