Students are introduced to fractions, expanding their understanding of numbers. They develop fluency with multiplication and division and explore two‑dimensional shapes, estimation, and the use of variables. Regular word problems teach students how to translate between writing and mathematical symbols, and puzzles help students practice strategic thinking.

Students master the key topics they’ll need to succeed in AoPS Prealgebra and other middle school math courses. Students complete their study of the arithmetic of fractions, decimals, and negative integers. They are also introduced to topics in geometry, number theory, statistics, and algebra. Thought‑provoking word problems and puzzles reinforce critical problem‑solving skills, mathematical modeling, and deductive reasoning.

Students engage with mathematical expressions from an algebraic and geometric perspective. They solve linear and quadratic equations, represent expressions in the Cartesian plane, and develop a deep understanding of functions. Students are also introduced to the rich field of complex numbers. They tackle challenging word problems and advanced problems from contests such as MATHCOUNTS, AMC 8, and AMC 10.

Students dive into geometry and develop spatial reasoning skills. They learn to dissect geometrical configurations, learn formal proof techniques, and tackle geometry problems on the Cartesian plane. Students explore trigonometry, building a foundation for precalculus. The challenging problems in this course include real questions from MATHCOUNTS, AMC 10, AMC 12, and other prestigious competitions.
