MATHCOUNTS CLASS:
Overview:
This class will cover most of the important concepts, theorems, and formulas needed for competition of Mathcounts. Every new technique and topic will be reinforced with guided testing and interactive practice sessions, and tips and tricks to maximize competition performance will be taught. Everything learned in this class will be related to real world examples, as the ultimate goal of this class is to establish as strong of a conceptual understanding as possible.
Class information:
Classes : 14
Class duration : 1-1.5 hours
Class timings : TBD
Class format : Zoom meetings
Class requirements : Algebra 1 completed, preferably geometry completed as well. Basic understanding of some algebra, and must have either a notebook and pencil or notability on an ipad to participate in class discussion. Beginning and ending diagnostic tests will need to be submitted to the instructor to assess growth accurately.
CURRICULUM:
This class will be a review of basic algebra one problem solving techniques and topics from geometry that are pertinent to the class. This class will explain how to look at and approach problems
