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. Problem Solving in Arithmetic is intended for students who have a good understanding of elementary arithmetic and wish to broaden their skills by solving interesting word problems. Students investigate properties of fractions, decimals, percents, integers, and order of operations, and explore the rules that govern math operations through interactions, practice problems, and workout exercises. This course is most appropriate for students at the fifth and sixth grade level. It provides a solid foundation for students who will be advancing into Honors Pre-algebra.
