    Curriculum

    Our expert instructors use content developed by the Art of Problem Solving curriculum team to teach Math Beasts Camp 5. 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 5 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. We explore a series of math-related two-player strategic games, starting with seemingly simple games (like Tic-Tac-Toe) to introduce the concept of strategy, then quickly moving on to increasingly complex games through which students will learn essential mathematical problem-solving tactics such as pattern recognition, working backwards, and invariance.

    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 are meant to push student understanding of familiar topics beyond standard grade level.
