Challengers (Grades 7-9)

Building Excellence

The Challengers program for grades 7-9 gives kids an understanding of the core math concepts – geometry, ratios, exponents, probability – that goes far beyond just memorizing formulas. Problems are approached from many angles to ensure that the concept is understood and can be applied.

Cartesian grid logic, working with various triangle types, the Pythagorean equation, primes and factors, algebra, 3D geometry, and the logic of speed, time, and distance problems. All topics are presented from multiple angles and build the skills and confidence to use the math concepts so solve more complicated challenges.

Competition Readiness

Competition math challenges leverage the tools a student has learned in order to challenge them with increasingly difficult problems. We will select competitive math challenges that are representative of math contest such as CEMC’s Gauss and Pascal contests, or the MAA’s AMC8 contest.

What is a Mobius Session in Challengers?

In the Challengers program we move away from the game play that earlier students love. By this age, the math challenges themselves are interesting enough. Unit mastery time allows kids to progress as far as they can in a topic (such as geometry, algebra, or probability). Focused practice targets areas that have been identified as weak for each individual kid. Competition math problems are explored to apply math knowledge creatively.

Each session is 45 minutes, and students will usually do around 50 math problems.

Detailed Results

Each week you will receive a detailed summary of progress, and any areas of struggle. Week over week, you’ll see growth throughout the math curriculum, from 2D and 3D geometry, to exponents, probability, and number theory.

Flexible Scheduling

We understand that kids lives are busy. If you ever need to reschedule a session, change to another day of the week, or add a sibling you have complete control in the Mobius Parent Portal. Manage your child or children’s schedules, see their results, and manage your account.

What Kids and Parents Are Saying

I love the car racing game!

B, age 12

I never really enjoyed math before but I love Mobius, especially the games which make math so much fun.

J, age 13

Not only did T perform very well on the last math contest, but he gained tremendous confidence in using his math knowledge to solve challenging problems.

Eric

Grade 8 parent

Mobius makes math fun by letting you compete against others in games.

S, age 13

Parkour is my favourite game, can’t wait to play it again next week!

P, age 13

J loves attending Mobius every week. Over the past year Mobius has helped J go from being an intimidated math student with low grades to a confident math student who is “an eager participant in class and has an expert grasp of all material covered” - (direct quote from J’s report card).

Ralf

Grade 8 parent

K, who otherwise has her head in a book, proactively starts her Mobius Math looking forward to the session with the group. I don’t even think she thinks of it as math, but I certainly see her progress in the subject!

Andrea

Grade 7 parent

P has always been good and interested in math but used to get nervous during exams. Mobius gives him the confidence he needed, in a fun setting.

Kanika

Grade 7 parent

The Mobius competition math sessions were challenging, but fun. They helped me understand how to break down problems into parts that were solvable.

T, age 14

These sessions provide interesting challenges for A to explore mathematical concepts, boosting her math confidence by connecting her with her problem-solving abilities and giving her opportunities to work through areas she was less comfortable with.

Rina

Grade 8 parent

Hearing the excited chatter of kids playing video games, but knowing that B’s doing math is great for me as a parent!

Tanya

Grade 7 parent

The Mobius competition math sessions have helped me focus on areas of math that I have struggled in. I am able to focus on the areas that I have difficulty with, breaking them into simpler pieces for me to solve.

A, age 14

Mobius makes math!
