Elements of Mathematics: Foundations

Math Enrichment For Middle School Students

Have your student dive into the heart of mathematics with our Math Enrichment Program.

Designed for middle school students eager to challenge themselves and expand their mathematical horizons, this program offers two formats to suit their learning style: an on-ground classroom experience and a hybrid online format with real-time instruction.

Why Have Your Student Enroll in our Elements of Mathematics: Foundations Year One Program?

Comprehensive Curriculum:

We cover foundational to advanced mathematical concepts, fostering deep understanding and critical thinking and logic skills.

Exceptional Faculty:
Our instructors are not just teachers but passionate mathematicians dedicated to inspiring and guiding students through their mathematical journey.

Flexible Learning Options:

Choose between our on-ground classroom format for hands-on, interactive learning, or our hybrid online format for convenience without compromising quality.

Community and Support:
Join a vibrant community of students and teachers. Our program is designed to encourage collaboration, mentorship, and lifelong connections where it’s cool to be smart!

Option 1: Hybrid Online Learning

Students meet weekly after school via video conference with a real-time teacher via an online curriculum.

The instructor covers the material that the students will work on during the remainder of the week. Students work independently during the following week, and bring their questions or issues to the instructor during the weekly video conference time.

This class format makes the MEGSSS program available to students outside the St. Louis area.

Enjoy access to the online curriculum around the clock. This program is designed to fit into your child’s busy schedule with the advantage of an in-person, real time teacher one day per week.
The online Elements class is fully online learning, but MEGSSS will have in-person support to assist your child. Our distinguished Faculty Member, Jeannie Ra, will answer questions, provide course clarification, and content assistance once a week for this hybrid online learning experience.
The live teacher-supported class will run via Google Meet.
There is a one-time non-refundable registration fee of $25
Tuition for each semester (two semesters per year) is $595

Once your payment for registration and tuition is received, your place in the class is secured.

Option 2: In Person Learning

Students meet weekly after school with an instructor.

The instructor covers the material that the students will work on during the remainder of the week. This enables the students to work independently, and bring questions or issues to the instructor during in-class time. This class meets at local schools in the St. Louis area.

What Is Project MEGSSS?

(Mathematics Education for Gifted Secondary School Students)

Math Jam is a summer camp program created by Project MEGSSS.

Project MEGSSS was incorporated as a 501(c)3 organization in 1980, the offshoot of a Saint Louis-based, government-funded educational research project.

Based on the Elements of Mathematics, a curriculum designed to enrich and expand the mathematical abilities of middle school students, this unique core program broadens exposure to the world of mathematics and focuses on reinforcing elementary and middle school math concepts and logic in preparation for high-level mathematics in secondary school and college.
