01 ABOUT THIS COURSE

Build your next skill.

A starter course in olympiad style mathematical thinking. It does not follow the syllabus of any one olympiad. It builds the habits that many problem solving contests reward: noticing parity, finding patterns, reading a figure, reasoning with logic, and writing a clean solution. What you will cover: • Number sense and parity, digit sums and remainder cycles • Patterns and sequences, differences and invariants • Visual geometry intuition: angle chasing, congruent triangles and symmetry • Logic puzzles and reasoning: elimination, working backwards and the pigeonhole idea • Solution habits: reading the stem, drawing first, error logs and answer form Each lesson has a worked example, a mistake list and a recap, and each topic ends with a quick check. Each of the 5 chapters has a practice test that draws 10 fresh questions per attempt from a tagged bank of 20, with unlimited retakes. Read the official syllabus, pattern and rules of the olympiad you plan to take, because they are set by its organiser.
