CTY's Problem Solving and Enrichment Math courses sharpen investigative skills, broaden mathematical understanding of concepts, and enhance reasoning skills. Designed around performance objectives that reflect national and state mathematical standards, these courses demonstrate how mathematical issues arise out of real-life situations. Concepts are assessed through challenging quizzes and module tests. With the guidance of their instructors, students typically select enrichment or supplementary math courses of the appropriate level in between their accelerated  courses to ensure a solid foundation and mastery of math concepts at each level.

Elementary Problem Solving II focuses on arithmetic and the number operations typically included in the math curricula for accelerated grades 3 and 4. Students investigate numbers and number sense, operations with numbers, decimals, geometry, and data analysis and probability. Common factors, prime and composite numbers, two digit multipliers and divisors, improper fractions and mixed numbers, quotients and remainders, ratios and percents, geometrical figures, the coordinate plane, symmetry, and transformations are some of the topics studied. Unit reviews and regular assessments serve as a guide to review and complete mastery of concepts. This course provides a solid foundation for students who will be advancing into grade 4 or 5 mathematics.
