CTYOnline - Math Olympiad for Middle School Students
Prerequisites: Qualifying math score and completion of Pre-algebra or equivalent
Individually Paced

Math Olympiad courses are designed to teach the major strategies of problem solving, to foster mathematical creativity, and to stimulate enthusiasm and love for the types of problems that students encounter in competitive mathematics. Each week students explore a different math topic or problem-solving strategy in depth, and practice non-routine contest problems. The web-based whiteboard provides interactive experiences for students. Students and instructors meet weekly on the whiteboard for problem solving, clarification of concepts, and group sessions. Topics covered in Math Olympiad for Middle School Students include fractions, divisibility, algebra, geometry, number sense, logic, substitution, SAT I strategies, and a more in-depth study of many of the topics covered in Math Olympiad for Elementary School Students.
