Course Concept

Mathematics is a subject that is best understood through the lens of its problem solving techniques. Math is less of applying formulae and more of an art. It is a continuous learning approach, which starts from the formulation of the problem statement. Problem solving is a skill that is acquired through patient thinking and experience. The Art of Problem solving (AOP) course exposes students to a variety of proofs and problems, including famous theorems proved by great mathematicians. 

This course will help students go beyond simply numbers; to inspire and to develop the ability to manipulate variables and to discover patterns or approaches leading to new insights for problem solving. This will broaden their knowledge and understanding of well-known results and how to apply them in various new situations – a useful skill for further progress in understanding 21st century mathematics.

Each module in this course picks up an interesting topic and makes various meaningful connections to it for deeper conceptual understanding. Much of mathematics is developed in response to the needs of other disciplines. Problems will include real-life applications. These problems come packed with fun activities, which involve students working in groups, with the use of technology and modern software to understand the mathematical principles.

This course assumes a basic knowledge of geometry and algebra. The course focuses on a holistic upgrade in math reasoning skills, thereby laying a strong foundation for many competitive exams such as American Math Competition (AMC); The Center for Education in Maths and Computing, University of Waterloo (CEMC), and advanced Math courses in high school. It also aims to help students adapt to mathematical applications and technology that can enhance understanding of these concepts.

*This course is intended for students of national and international boards from Grade 8 to 10 who are motivated and want to develop a deeper level of understanding and application of math.

Testimonials

“These classes were very helpful for building my foundation for Maths. They not only taught the “what” aspects of Math, but more importantly the “why” aspect of Math, this is what made the course unique from others. Multiple interesting activities, videos and scheduled doubt clarification sessions to understand the mathematical concepts always kept me engaged. The teachers made the class extremely engaging, and I could not be distracted from Maths for a single second. Lastly, they always gave a good amount of homework to practice, which really helped me remember these Maths concepts. Overall, the “Art of Problem Solving” course was one that I will never forget!”

Shivansh Gupta

Heritage International Xperiential School, Gurgaon, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2021

“The best part was that I got to learn a new topic in maths every week, so I always looked forward to this class, as it was fun and engaging. The course was quite different in terms of how the instructors explained, the use of technology and in many other ways which made it really enjoyable. The homework problems and weekly doubts sessions really helped me to further improve in the topics taught and also helped me to remember key details of every topic by solving problems. Overall, I really had a blast, especially because of the diversity of topics that we got to learn and the numerous class discussions that were held.”

Arham Bhansali

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2021

“This course was completely different and much more fun from school math. I learned a lot more and this has really expanded my knowledge in math to a great extent. In school, we don’t go into the depth and history of each topic. The course had a great learning environment even in the online space. The teachers are extremely supportive and encouraging. Even though I have never studied the topics we covered in this course earlier, I am sure I will use the tips and tricks taught in this course in my future studies.”

Jiya Chotrani

Jamnabai Narsee School, Mumbai, Grade 9, ICSE, 2021

“This course is more challenging and covers more subject areas than in school. I really enjoyed the games and activities, since they were a change from normal class activities and were very fun. The course helped me learn a lot of cool facts about maths. The weekly doubt sessions were helpful too, even if I didn’t have a doubt with a question I still learned something from someone else’s doubts.”

Azadeh Changrani-Rastogi

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2021

The mathematics which we learn in school has a very limited approach but in the course the mathematics which we taught had a very broad perspective. The best thing about this course was that there was always a surprise the next day. Different topics were covered each day and it was covered in a fun and creative way too. This has really impacted me and now look at mathematics with a different perspective.

Kabir Punjwani

Arya Vidya Mandir, Mumbai, Grade 9, ICSE, 2020

This course, firstly taught me a lot that I have not come across before and it gave me certain ways to think differently and inquire. This was different, because I felt we engaged with each other more rather than just doing regular individual tests and sums. The co-instructors were very helpful whenever I had to have my doubts answered in the Doubt sessions and regular sessions too at times. I really enjoyed learning concepts that you wouldn’t regularly come across in school. I am sure this will help me understand maths way better!

Vidit Bhimrajka

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2020

I feel like we learnt a lot more about maths that was outside the current portion of our school, and we learnt it in a very fun and interesting way. The instructors were always pro active in class, and responded to questions immediately. They always had a different approach to all problems. I liked the fun ways in which we learnt maths topics, and it has taught me so many different perspectives in maths than school.

Abhinav Dangwal

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 9, IGCSE, 2020

This course is different because in this course whenever we learn a new formula or a new way to do something, we are always taught why this happens and how it works. In school, however, we are just taught the formula not why it is used. I really enjoyed learning how to approach different topics differently. I also enjoyed the course because I learnt many new things about math and it made me enjoy it a lot.

Aradhitta Goenka

Bombay international School, Mumbai, Grade 8, IGCSE, 2020

The Art of Problem Solving course was my foundation for Maths competitions such as the AMC. It involves more thinking about the problem you are going to solve, how you will solve, and more importantly why it is solved in a particular way. In school, we are just given a formula and told that it is correct. It provided me with the skills I needed to take the AMC course as an eighth grader. Overall, it was a really interesting course and I would recommend it to anyone who wants to go on to do well in Math competitions.

Anamika Changrani-Rastogi

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 9, 2020

We discussed problems that were out of the box, which I would have thought were impossible. The way we learned about it was also really different from school, we had lots of hands-on activities that showed different methods to understand concepts.

Ahaan Vaknalli

Oberoi International School, Mumbai, Grade 10, 2020

School math often forgets to cover the theory behind a formula or constant but this course covered all of that and more.

Prabhav Jalan

Dhirubhai Ambani International School, Mumbai, Grade 10, 2020

It’s completely different as there are much harder questions and the way its solved is completely different but much easier to understand.

A new Math

These classes were very helpful for building my foundation for Maths. They not only taught the “what” aspects of Math, but more importantly the “why” aspect of Math, through multiple activities and videos that always kept me engaged. They had scheduled doubt clarification sessions (according to our preferred timings) and they solved every question I had in great depth!
