This course prepares the students for the Math Kangaroo Competition. Explain and summarize the knowledge by topics. Practices with past test questions.  Math Kangaroo is  an annual international mathematical competition for thousands of students in grades K-12. Math Kangaroo's focus is on improving students' math scores and teaching them new strategies for solving word and logic problems, helping them with critical thinking and gaining confidence in the classroom.

Math Olympiad aims to discover the “fun” in mathematics and enhance children’s logical reasoning ability by focusing on the exploration of different problem-solving strategies. The course uses Beast Academy as the main content and adds Gao Si Math (Chinese Math Olympiad Textbook) and basic practices to complete the math competition learning system. 

Topics:  Pirate Symbols and regrouping, convert to numbers;Breaking and Regrouping; Adding and Subtracting 1, 10, and 100; The Number Line; Comparing; Ordering (missing digits); Sum with regrouping; Addition strategies: counting up and compensation; Addition strategies: adding then taking away, rearranging; Doubles and addition estimates; Place value subtraction strategy; Addition and Subtraction; Subtraction strategy: counting up, subtract then add; Subtraction strategy: changing difference.

This course is to equip students with the necessary math knowledge and problem-solving skills to participate in AMC 8, or its equivalence like MATHCOUNTS. Contents of pre-algebra will be covered extensively in this one-year course. Particularly, the problem-solving skills needed in AMC8 will be taught in depth. Some advanced content will be added for students to better understand the subjects. After the completion of this course, students are expected to be ready to take AMC8 and pursue further success in the next level of math contests.
