Have a great winter break! Please note that AoPS Academy Virtual Campus will not have classes Dec 21, 2024 through Jan 3, 2025.
Math Beasts Camp 4 is designed for students who will be ready to take Honors Math 4 in the fall. Many students take Math Beasts Camp 4 either the summer before the fourth grade or the summer after, depending on when they plan to take Honors Math 4.
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.
Our instructors hold classes virtually, in a small-sized (10-16 students) videoconferencing classroom.
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.
If you drop a summer course before the start of your first class session, we'll issue a full refund for the course tuition. No refunds will be issued for withdrawing from a summer course after the start of your first class session.
Our summer course offerings meet five days a week, Monday through Friday. We offer this course in two timing formats. Both cover the same course material.
Our Summer 2025 camp schedule will be available in the spring! Please join our mailing list to receive the latest information.
