Algebra Excellence
For Middle Schoolers
This class is ideal for students looking to go beyond the typical school curriculum. Based on the renowned textbook by Art of Problem Solving founder Richard Rusczyk, the course emphasizes learning through problem-solving with instructors available to provide clarifying explanations. Instead of traditional lecturing, most of the class time is dedicated to tackling challenging problems. Students will be encouraged to write complete and clear solutions to exercises, an important skill in communicating mathematics effectively.
Topics covered in the book include linear equations, ratios, quadratic equations, special factorizations, complex numbers, graphing linear and quadratic equations, linear and quadratic inequalities, functions, polynomials, exponents and logarithms, absolute value, sequences and series, and much more!
Middle school students preparing for MATHCOUNTS, high school students preparing for the AMC, and other students seeking to master the fundamentals of algebra will find this class invaluable.
