Math for the Champions! Are you ready to take your Math skills to the next level? Prepare for competition? This class is for you.
We teach kids Math while preparing them for a real world contest: the MK2022 test will take place on March 17, 2022.
This Spring, we have 8 teachers and 10 Kangaroo Math classes for Romanian American kids grades 1-8! Kangaroo Math is an international Mathematics contest that takes place in March. Millions of children around the world participate in Kangaroo every year.
We have openings for:
* First and Second Grade: 1 class; Teacher Mirela Birta, every Saturday, 11:00-11:45 AM CST, starting January 15th
* Fifth and Sixth Grade: 1 class; Teacher Alex Turik, every Tuesday, 5:30-6:30 PM CST, starting January 18th
Unfortunately, all other grades are full. Signing up does not guarantee placement.
Who should join this class:
- Competitive Students (1st - 8th grade) who ❤️Math
- Awesome Math 📈Teachers 👋
We are here to show you that MATH = FUN.
We encourage academic excellence in mathematics and prepare students to compete in the Kangaroo Math contest. The contest problems are provocative, require great deal of attention and creative thinking, and cover interesting mathematical concepts. They aim to show the beauty of mathematics and, thus, increase the appreciation of mathematics. We believe many children are not challenged enough in the school system. This is why we offer mathematics enrichment programs accessible to all children. Even challenging mathematics can be taught in an interesting and fun way!
In this class, you will learn how to think. You will learn how to learn. You will learn how to tackle any problem.

What is the required level for incoming children?
Each set of problems that we will be solving is split into 3 categories: easy, medium, difficult. Therefore, everyone will be able to solve at least some of the problems every time. Kangaroo problems are mostly logical, and they do not require any specific method. This being said, we will not repeat what is being taught in class. Our teaching will focus on the ability to solve real-world problems.
-
What will you be teaching?
We will be using the last 25 years of Kangaroo tests, for the 3-4 grade level. Each test is split into 3 categories: easy, medium, difficult (3,4, and 5 point problems). A demo set of what these problems look like can be found here.
