Free Online Math Workshop

About the Class

This workshop is a 90 minute Zoom class. During class, we will split the call into 2 breakout rooms: Introductory and Advanced. One room will be for kids who are newer to the topic, while the other will be for kids who have some experience. Sample problems for each level can be found in the sample problems document.

Both sessions will begin with a lecture from the instructors, where many examples will be covered to reinforce the topics. When this is over, the floor will be open to questions, and this will be followed by problems pertaining to the topic to incite discussion. Kids will have access to notes from the class, attached with their problem sets, to refer to as they work. Once the class is over, extra problems will be sent out for those who wish to try more difficult problems. Kathir and Karthik will teach both rooms. The students' levels will be assessed in the first class, but kids are encouraged to try the sample problems and make an informed decision prior to the first lesson.

Registration is closed. We have reached full capacity for this workshop. Please look forward to future sessions!
