This 16-Lecture program (September 08, 2023 – January 26, 2024), is designed for those bright and motivated, but less experienced 5-7 graders who will be the beginners of middle school math contests in the fall of 2023 

This extensive, challenging “Topics + Exercise” program provides a great opportunity for those young students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and passion of problem-solving that can assist in their future careers.
