Algebra Basics
A deep dive into the algebraic concepts which can be understood with just a Pre-Algebra background (prerequisite knowledge: decimals, fractions, and percents). These concepts form the majority of the early problems on MATHCOUNTS and AMC 8.

Who Is This Course For?
Are you taking any math class from 5th Grade Math through Algebra, and in the top 10% of your class? Have you never taken any professional math competition classes at levels above Algebra? If you answered Yes to both, then this class is for you. It will transform your potential.

Course Structure
This course contains 20 LIVE 1-hour video sessions, of which 16 are lessons, and 4 are exam review sessions that discuss the course's 4 practice 1-hour exams (homework). Each class is co-taught by 2 of our Stars. In total, there are over 150 problems.
Each lesson contains several problems which are meant to be unfamiliar to you, so that they inspire you to invent your own solutions. In our LIVE video class format, you propose your ideas, and we brainstorm together with you to construct a variety of alternative solutions using the class's own ideas. This actively involves you in discovering mathematics.
Each practice exam contains 20 problems, of which half are of average difficulty, and the other half are very challenging.

I love how you focus on a few questions every day instead of like 100 questions per day. This way you can learn more clearly.
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD

To be honest, this course is way better than what my teacher had taught us in school.

Enroll
We have LIVE and self-paced versions of this course. We strongly recommend the LIVE format, as it has been carefully designed to be so engaging that students fall in love with challenge. There has never been anything like it before. All times are listed in your local time zone.
For students who want to learn a subject sooner than a LIVE course matches their schedule, our self-paced version contains all of Prof. Loh's teaching on the subject (without live teaching). This is available on our self-paced course platform, where thousands of students have learned over the past 3 years.
