Ninja Math Meetup

Overview:

The COVID-19 pandemic has cut many young students off from attending school and receiving their valued education. This is why we have created Ninja Math; we want students to be able to follow their desire for knowledge and expand their view in mathematics. By offering weekly meetups, Ninja Math serves as a way for students interested in math to learn and hone their math skills. We cater towards 5th~6th graders, but students of all grade levels are welcome to participate.

Meetup Format:

We believe the best way to learn math is through action. This is why our 40-minute math meetups are split into two periods: a 25-minute period for students to complete a 5-question problem set and a 15-minute period where we will review each problem step-by-step.

Our problem sets are comprised of previous AMC 8/10, MathCounts, and other math competitions’ questions. We choose problems that we believe will both challenge and improve our students’ math skills. No pain, no gain.

Our meetups are held through Zoom. The 15 minutes of instruction time will be recorded and posted below for students who were unable to attend the meetup or want a refresher.

When attending the meetup in Zoom, please avoid sharing answers with peers, mute your microphone unless you have a question, and refrain from using the “chat” function unless you have a question or a relevant comment. Keep in mind that the meetups are recorded, so please act appropriately.

Instructor: Emily Xu, who has experience preparing for and competing in the AMC contests, MathCounts, NC State Math Meet, and more.
