Course Description

From the CTY Online catalog:

This course is intended to prepare students for future MATHCOUNTS® and Math Olympiad for Middle School (MOEMS) competitions and classes by strengthening their analytical and problem-solving skills. This course is designed to challenge and motivate students with little to no previous experience with MATHCOUNTS® or MOEMS® at the middle school level. Each week students explore a different math topic or problem-solving strategy in depth and practice non-routine contest problems. The web-based virtual classroom sessions provide interactive experiences for students. Students and instructors meet weekly in the virtual classroom for problem solving, clarification of concepts, and group sessions.

Each topic covered in the course is independent of the other topics. One topic is taught a week on a continuous repeating basis. Students will not necessarily start with "Topic 1" in their first week of enrollment, but all topics will be covered in a 3-month enrollment. When all topics are covered, a student then takes the final exam.

• Integers
• Fractions and Decimals
