Curriculum

Our expert instructors use content developed by the Art of Problem Solving curriculum team to teach Math Beasts Camp 4. As a deep exploration of challenging mathematics, AoPS curriculum prepares students for success at top universities and competitive careers. No books are required for this class.

Math Beasts Camp 4 includes sessions in Mathematical Exploration and Problem Solving.

Our Mathematical Exploration sessions are designed to equip students with general mathematical strategies that will be useful throughout their education. We introduce topics most students won't encounter until much later in their schooling. By exploring and manipulating simple dot diagrams, students will dig into rich mathematical ideas in discrete mathematics and number theory, which are critical to many areas of computer science and advanced mathematics.

The Problem Solving sessions focus on logical thinking, while providing review of key math concepts. Students participate in a wide range of math-related games and puzzles that push student understanding of familiar topics beyond the standard grade level.

Format

Our instructors hold classes virtually, in a small-sized (10-16 students) videoconferencing classroom.

Homework

There is no required homework for Math Beasts Camp 4. However, we've prepared more materials than we can cover during class and many students continue working on them after class for extra practice.
