About Classes
This course is for those who want to understand how mathematics works, not just “do the math.” Based on the materials of Anna Burago — the program’s author — it goes beyond the standard school curriculum, developing true mathematical intuition, critical thinking, and a genuine interest in the subject.

How Classes Work
In our classes, we don’t solve problems “by formula” — we explore challenges that require flexibility, analysis, and observation. There’s no drilling for tests — instead, we use logic games, non-standard problems, combinatorics, competitions, and olympiads.
Children learn to think critically, discuss, and draw conclusions. Often, theory comes not at the start but at the end — as a summary of what they themselves have discovered through problem-solving.
What You’ll Learn
- Flexible, logical, and creative thinking
- Ability to analyze, compare, and structure solutions
- Independent problem-solving skills
- Confidence in working with unfamiliar challenges
- Interest in math as a dynamic, intellectual field
Who This Class Is For
For ages 10–11, for children who enjoy puzzles, strategy, reasoning, and discovering new ideas. Especially for those ready for math beyond basic arithmetic
