TJ Prep Writing Series for 8th graders
This January, back by popular demand, RSM will be offering a TJ (Thomas Jefferson High School for Science and Technology) prep writing series. We will hold four Saturday sessions via Zoom, on Jan 7th, 14th, 21st & 28th, from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm. In addition to eight hours of instruction, students will complete writing assignments and receive personalized feedback with concrete suggestions for improvement. Students will draft and revise their writing in a structured process that will help them prepare for the TJ Application Day.
Space is limited and students will be accepted on a first-come first served basis. Registration is open here. Tuition is $300 for the whole course (includes four sessions). We will provide the class link following payment.

MATH REASONING
(Session I only) : July 10 – July 21 (9 AM – 12 Noon)
Instructor:
Vern Williams
Class Size:
12-15 students
Place:
Meridian High School
121 Mustang Alley
Falls Church, VA 22043
$750.00
This course is mainly for rising seventh and eighth graders who are able to grasp abstract and complicated mathematical concepts at a very fast pace. Younger students with exceptional mathematical ability and backgrounds may enroll with special permission. Material covered will include topics from number theory, Euclidian and non-Euclidian geometries, Picks Theorem, Herons Formula, Mathematical proof, transcendental real numbers such as “e” and “pi” , derivation and use of the square root algorithm, unitary divisors, permutations and combinations, derivation and use of summation formulas, and RSA coding. In addition, students will develop new techniques and shortcuts for solving both routine and difficult math problems taken from Mathcounts, AMC8, and other middle and high school contests.
Students who qualify for programs such as CTY (Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth) or EPGY (Stanford’s Education Program for Gifted Youth) should have an excellent experience taking this course. An AMC 8 score of 15 or higher should also serve as an excellent predictor of success in the course. If a student has not taken the AMC 8 contest (40 minutes for 25 problems, no calculator), previously given ones can be found on the Art of Problem Solving website at:
http://www.artofproblemsolving.com/Wiki/index.php/AMC_8_Problems_and_Solutions.
Of course if a student is a strong member of his/her school Mathcounts team, that indeed serves as an excellent predictor of success in the Math Reasoning course.

ADVANCED PROBLEM SOLVING
July 24 – August 4 (1 PM – 4 PM) Session II only
Instructor:
Vern Williams and Dr. Ryan Grove
Class Size:
We will have two levels and will assign a maximum of 12 students to each class.
Place:
Meridian High School
121 Mustang Alley
Falls Church, VA 22043
$750
This course is mainly for rising eighth, ninth, and tenth graders who would like to engage in high level problem solving up to the USAMO level. Problems will be selected from a variety of sources and problem solving techniques will be developed and applied. Other topics of interest, such as advanced number theory, combinatorics, and advanced topics from geometry will be discussed. The student should have the ability to reason abstractly and the desire to solve challenging problems in order to be successful in this course. We are planning to have two levels of APS. Dr. Ryan Grove is scheduled to instruct the more experienced students. He currently teaches problem solving versions of Calculus and Post Calculus courses as well as Physics at BASIS Independent Mclean.
Students who were very successful in the Math Reasoning course and/or advanced math courses from CTY (Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth) or Stanford’s Education Program for Gifted Youth (EPGY) should be prepared for this course. Acceptance to programs such as MathPath as well as a score of 90 or above on the AMC10/12 also serve as excellent predictors of success in this course. Even though we will have two levels of APS, the entry level section will be quite rigorous. Students will be assigned to their respective section based on their mathematics course backgrounds and problem solving experience.

2023 AwesomeMath Summer Session Dates
Session 1: June 5th-June 23rd
Session 2: June 26th-July 14th
Session 3: July 17th-August 4th
The AwesomeMath Summer Program is online only, as it allows us to reach more students globally. This also provides our students the opportunity to collaborate with a greater diversity of peers who come from different backgrounds, cultures and educational experiences.
Other benefits of a virtual summer program include:
- Provides comparable quality of instruction to in-person classes, but at a lower tuition rate
- Gives students more flexibility with their summer schedules
- Allows us to hire the greatest instructors from around the globe
The high percentage of returning students in the past couple years, as well as the overwhelmingly positive feedback we received from families, are a great testament to our online summer program format.
APPLY EARLY AND SAVE!
To be eligible for our early admission tuition rate, students must apply no later than January 19th. Admitted students who pay their tuition by February 3rd can save $100 per class!
