Class Experience

Each day of AoPS Bootcamp: Prealgebra Prep focuses on a foundational topic covered in our advanced elementary school math curriculum. Students will review topics they have seen before, as well as strengthen their mathematical intuition and number sense. In each lesson, challenging problems push them to think more deeply about these foundational topics, which help support lasting understanding and better prepare students for our Prealgebra. Students also collaborate with their peers on problems, activities, and games each day.

Students should be prepared to spend 1-2 hours per day working outside of class.
