MATH ENRICHMENT COURSE (G7-8) (Teacher is International Math Olympiad medalist.)
(Click to Watch Open House Demo)
Class Timings: Every Wednesday (5-5:55 PM EST) ( Scheduled 1st session of eight times classes - 9/10-10/29 ).
Course Description:
This course is designed for grade 7-8 students who wish to learn higher mathematics and enhance their mathematical problem-solving skills, out of intellectual curiosity or the desire to compete in math competitions such as AMC 8. No past experience in math competitions is needed. The course is divided into four terms covering; Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory and Combinatorics. The course is designed to cover new mathematics, as well as train your intuition and creativity to solve challenging math problems. In classes, we will learn by solving problems together, sharing a variety of ideas from students, to come up with as many solutions as possible. Therefore, collaboration is very highly encouraged.
Homework: After every class, 10 problems will be assigned for homework. The solutions must be written down, scanned and submitted before next Tuesday 11:59 PM EST. Feedback will be given on the homework assignments.

Introduction of the Instructor:
Coach Harun, a second-year Imperial College London Mathematics student. he has tutored math class of AMC 8, AMC 10, AMC 12, and also Fun Math for Elementary students.
As an IMO Bronze medalist and two-time Honorable Mention Award Recipient at the International Mathematical Olympiad, the teacher's passion for competition math propels interesting, engaging lessons while fostering a fun and fascinating learning environment. Truly there are many ways to solve problems; therefore, the teacher employs unique teaching strategies to encourage students to provide their creative input. As a previous student in many online Olympiad math courses and math tutor for students of different grades and levels, , the teacher inherited effective teaching strategies into this course.
