This class is designed to meet the needs of learners who are gifted in mathematics and thrive on challenge and developing self-confidence while problem-solving. This is a weekly, ONGOING class with 45-minute live meetings. Learners can join and participate at any point as classes are not sequentially skill-building in nature. Level 2 is designed for learners who need a challenge beyond the original Math Superstars class. Teacher recommendation encouraged.

In this class, learners will work together to solve challenging (but fun!) math problems. Each weekly class will begin with a brief mini-lesson that showcases a tip or trick to help learners solve math problems. Learners will then work to solve a variety of math problems designed for gifted learners in grades 4-5. The class atmosphere will be engaging for learners!

The lessons in this ongoing class do not build on each other, and the content is not sequential. The following is a breakdown of the first four weeks, including types of problems learners will solve.

Week of March 31: The problem set will focus on multiplication and percentages. Learners will stretch their math skills to solve real-world problems using critical thinking.

Week of April 7: The problem set will focus on fractions. Learners will stretch their math skills to solve real-world problems using critical thinking.

Week of April 14: The problem set will focus on patterns. Learners will stretch their math skills to solve real-world problems using critical thinking.

Week of April 21: The problem set will focus on logic and algebra. Learners will stretch their math skills to solve real-world problems using critical thinking.

This class is appropriate for young mathematicians who would enjoy a weekly problem-solving challenge! Learners should have a strong foundation in addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and an understanding of fractions. This is a great class for accelerated learners who need a little more from their math classes and enjoy critical thinking and problem-solving.
