This class will be a combination of problem solving from Beast Academy level 2 and 3 select chapters and math games for mathematically curious students entering 3rd and 4th grade in the fall. Beast Academy is published by Art of Problem-Solving as a lead-in to their rigorous middle school and high school textbooks for advanced students. It’s a comprehensive curriculum for grades 2-5, with four guides and four practice books per each level.

This program focuses on thinking deeply about the problems/game strategies and requires children to stretch their brains and apply their knowledge in a variety of ways. This kind of productive struggle builds perseverance and a growth mindset, which pays off a lot in the long run.
