More About Our Math Curriculum
Welcome to Our Math Enrichment Program!
In addition to our exceptional Chinese program, our Math Enrichment Program is a key strength of our school, with numerous students excelling in both statewide and national competitions over the past few years. Our math program is designed to ensure that each student develops strong problem-solving skills, critical thinking abilities, and a genuine love for learning.
Track 1: Enrichment Program - Singapore Math (SM):
· Conceptual Understanding: Singapore Math emphasizes a deep understanding of mathematical concepts rather than rote memorization.
· Model Method: Students learn to visualize and solve problems using bar models, which aids in grasping complex concepts.
· Problem-Solving Focus: The curriculum encourages students to tackle challenging problems, enhancing their analytical skills.
· Foundation for Future Learning: By mastering fundamental concepts early on, students are well-prepared for advanced mathematical studies.
Our Track 1 math series begins with a comprehensive six-year Singapore Math curriculum (SM1-6), followed by Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2 for middle and high school students. We recommend taking a diagnostic test to determine the most suitable level for your child.
Track 2: Competitive Math Olympiad (MO):
· Advanced Problem-Solving: The Math Olympiad program is designed to challenge students with high-level problems that require creative and critical thinking.
· Competitive Edge: Students who participate in Math Olympiad gain experience in competitive mathematics, which can open doors to scholarships and prestigious academic opportunities. The course is geared for participation in AMC 8/10/12, Math Counts, and other Math competitions.
· Intellectual Growth: The rigorous training helps students develop perseverance, resilience, and a deeper appreciation for mathematics.
Our Competitive Math Series goes from MO 1-5. Students typically start MO 1 once they've established a strong foundation in Math fundamentals (at least G3 and above, Prerequisites: MUST be already proficient in basic arithmetic skills and PEMDAS). MO 4 prepares students for the AMC 8 and AMC 10 (middle school level), while MO 5 prepares them for the AMC 10 and AMC 12 (high school level).
Our Math Enrichment Program offers personalized learning paths for every student, allowing them to progress at their own pace while fully grasping each concept. We believe that math is not just about numbers—it's about exploring patterns, solving puzzles, and understanding the world around us. Join us on this exciting journey to discover the beauty and power of mathematics!
