Mustang Math Classes prepare students for math competitions through four terms: Algebra, Geometry, Combinatorics/Number Theory, and Problem Solving. Our current Algebra term runs for 10 weeks, with one session per week. Each session consists of 90-minute Zoom classes with 5-15 students and 2 instructors.
The program fee is $100 for all 10 sessions, with financial aid available upon request. As a nonprofit, we charge for our classes to fund our tournaments while promoting student commitment.
Our 10-week Algebra class is strong preparation for math competitions. Each week, instructors teach key concepts that students practice through homework. Completing all homework earns students a certificate of completion and a $10 gift card.
- Beginner Algebra (AMC 8 - Little to no competition experience)
- Intermediate Algebra (AMC 10 - Some competition experience)
