Building a strong mathematical foundation during middle school is essential for excelling in future studies. The Jones Library, in collaboration with ARHS, will host an eight-week summer course designed to strengthen mathematical skills for middle school students. The course will prepare students for success in MATHCOUNTS competitions and high school math. We will cover algebra, geometry, number theory, and combinatorics.
The registration deadline is June 26, 2025.
