Transition to Advanced Mathematics

This 10-week course is designed for students who are curious about mathematics beyond the standard curriculum and eager to explore ideas in greater depth. The course emphasizes number theory, number systems, and geometry, with a strong focus on reasoning, pattern-finding, and clear mathematical explanation.

Students will investigate rich problems involving divisibility, modular arithmetic, representations of numbers, geometric constructions, and spatial reasoning. Rather than accelerating through topics, the course prioritizes deep understanding, thoughtful problem solving, and the development of mathematical maturity. Students will be encouraged to make conjectures, test ideas, explain their reasoning, and engage in collaborative discussion.

The goal of the course is not only to strengthen students’ current mathematical foundations, but also to inspire confidence and excitement about advanced mathematics. By the end of the term, students will be better prepared, and more motivated, to pursue further mathematical study through PiMath, their home schools, and other advanced enrichment or research-oriented programs. This course serves as an invitation into deeper mathematical thinking and a first step toward long-term engagement with proof-based mathematics.

This course is a great fit for highly advanced middle school and early high school students.
