Elementary Accelerated Mathematics courses build a foundational understanding of computational skills, enhance conceptual understanding, and reinforce the use of problem-solving strategies. The courses are designed around performance objectives that reflect national and state mathematical standards. The courses provide rigorous content through real world situations. Students use online tools to expand their knowledge and explore mathematical ideas with the assistance of their CTY instructor. Assessments promote the use of higher order thinking skills and deliver opportunities for students to apply knowledge acquired throughout the course.

Problem-Solving Mathematics courses are extensions of the online Honors courses they follow. The courses reinforce the concepts seen in their corresponding Honors course through different problem-solving approaches and techniques, challenging assessments, and real world applications. Students use online tools to expand their knowledge and explore mathematical ideas with the assistance of their CTY instructor. A weekly online help room for all students in a Problem-Solving Mathematics course is also offered so that students can work with other students, clarify concepts, and answer challenging questions presented by the weekly moderator. Online interactives are provided by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.

Academically advanced students may have strong mathematical techniques, but younger students do not always have the mathematical maturity to understand the beauty that is mathematics. The study of mathematics is not a race, but a journey. The goal is not to study calculus at a young age, but to reach instead a deeper understanding of the applications of math through the world around us. These short courses keep students engaged in mathematical and algorithmic thinking through games and exercises. Problem solving, creative thinking, real world applications, and fun are stressed throughout.

This series is designed to teach the major strategies of problem solving, foster mathematical creativity, and stimulate enthusiasm and love for the various types of problems students encounter in all levels of competitive mathematics. These courses help students at the elementary and middle school levels develop the skills necessary for success in Mathematical Olympiads for Elementary and Middle School Students, MATHCOUNTS®, and the AMC 8, the premier middle school math contests in the United States.

Competitive math courses diff er from other individually paced courses in that each week, students explore a specific problem-solving strategy or mathematical concept. Students in each course may attend a weekly one-hour web-based group lesson with the instructor in the virtual classroom. Each session provides interactive experiences for students and focuses on the mathematical concept, topic, or strategy of the week. Different topics are covered weekly, so it is important that students who miss virtual classroom sessions watch the recording. Check the online course description pages for virtual classroom session times for each course.

CTY’s Competitive Math Series extends to the high school level. Secondary Mathematics education in the United States is accompanied by a series of national mathematics competitions of increasing difficulty: American Mathematics Competition (AMC), American Invitational Mathematics Examination (AIME), and USA Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO). Some colleges have begun asking their applicants for their AMC and AIME scores on their application forms.

In contrast to the standard curriculum, these math competitions challenge the talented student with non-routine problems whose solutions require creativity and intellectual flexibility. While about 250,000 students participate in the AMC, only about 5 percent go on to AIME and only about 5 percent of those go to USAMO. Students find the level of math from AMC to AIME or USAMO difficult, and one of the goals of these courses is to help students feel more confident in solving advanced problems. Information on virtual classroom session times for these classes is available on the web on the course description page.

CTY’s Honors Mathematics Sequence begins with Honors Grade 4 Mathematics and extends through Precalculus. This sequenceincorporates dynamic explanations that use animations, videos, and real-time feedback. Students use online tools to expand their knowledge and explore mathematical ideas with the assistance of their CTY instructor. They practice applying concepts by solving real-world problems and by completing online problem sets and exams. Online videos are provided by Thinkwell in all courses except Honors Grade 4 Mathematics.

CTY offers four Advanced Placement (AP) mathematics courses: AP Calculus AB, AP Calculus BC, AP Calculus C, and AP Statistics. An AP course consists of a full high school academic year of work that is comparable to statistics or calculus courses in colleges and universities. Students will be prepared to take the corresponding AP exam to seek college credit, college placement, or both, from institutions of higher learning. However, taking the actual AP exam is not required. CTY’s online AP math courses can be taken to replace or supplement a standard, non-AP course in either calculus or statistics.

CTY offers six online courses at the college level, based on the curriculum for an undergraduate mathematics major at Johns Hopkins University. All six courses are textbook based and require the purchase of a textbook. These courses do not earn college credit from Johns Hopkins University, but they may be used to determine placement when the student attends college. In each course, students receive detailed feedback on submitted work and engage in mathematical dialogue with their instructor. For specific details regarding the required texts, please visit the online course description. All college mathematics courses are typically six months in length. The recommended school credit for these courses is one full year of high school
