Curriculum

 

    We continue with fractions, multiplying and dividing fractions with different denominators; more complicated fraction word problems will be studied. Students will move to percentages, ratios, rates, and geometry topics including the area of a triangle and composite figures, angles, and parallel lines. Along with the rigorous arithmetic program, Olympiad and contest problems and topics will be included as a part of each lesson.  Counting principles, finding probabilities, set theory, combinatorics and logic are some of the topics we will study for the Olympiads.
