Math Enrichment Services

Registration for the 2021 Summer Classes is now open. We have officially obtained classroom space at George Mason High School (The new name is: Meridian High School) in Falls Church City during July and August for the summer courses. Therefore we will conduct all classes in-person. 

I have posted my reaction to the Virginia Mathematics Pathways Initiative under News and Writing.

 

Based in McLean, Virginia, we provide a challenging mathematics curriculum for gifted upper elementary and middle school students in the metropolitan Washington DC area. I taught math in The Fairfax County Public School system for over forty years and I taught in the gifted and talented program for over thirty years. I have received awards from Fairfax County Public Schools and the Mathematical Association of America. I’ve coached many successful Mathcounts teams and taught Math Reasoning for The Johns Hopkins Center for Talented youth. In 2007, I was appointed to the National Mathematics Advisory Panel by President George W. Bush. I am proud to have managed to teach Real math for over forty years without lowering my standards and have no intention of changing my methods.
