Math Level 1

Academic Year Mathematics

Students develop their number sense and begin to learn about place value. They are introduced to addition and subtraction and are encouraged to approach numerical problems in clever ways. Additionally, they manipulate shapes, compare numbers, and examine ways to measure physical objects. We use puzzles and games to build skills and establish student understanding of mathematical concepts and problem solving.

Homework and exams

Students should expect to spend 1-3 hours on homework every week. Homework will be assigned and completed through Beast Academy Online, where students receive immediate feedback on their work. Students will take four in-class exams throughout the course.

Textbooks

Students will be given a new textbook each quarter. The textbooks for the course are Beast Academy 1A, 1B, 1C, and 1D.

Textbooks and Beast Academy Online access are included in the tuition and fees of this course.

Syllabus

Our homeschooled son is extremely gifted in math and science.  He really feels at home at AoPS Academy.  Through coaching and personal attention at AoPS, he achieved a 5 in AP Calculus at 11 years old and a 4 in AP Statistics at 12.  He also achieved an 800 on SAT II math at 12 years old.  Our son feels very comfortable in the atmosphere of AoPS, where being gifted in math is not looked down on, but treated with respect.  He has truly found his peers at AoPS Academy. 

AoPS Academy allows my son to be himself, learn that there are other kids well advanced in math, and gives him the confidence to know that it is OK to be great in math, and that other people will respect and value his ability.
