Ellipsis Math
Ellipsis Math programs are a series of group classes (starting from level 2 through Algebra 2). These classes are led by experienced coaches and specifically designed and proven to:
Enrollment Process
Enrollment is first come first serve. Many of our classes become full very quickly and so we recommend parents to look at the schedule ahead of time and be ready to enroll when they receive the enrollment email.
Enrollment is per semester and there is continuity between Fall and Spring. Students who are enrolled in the Fall semester classes will have enrollment priority for the Spring semester. We will hold their seat for few days before releasing it to new students. New students who want to enroll for the Spring semester, will need to take the Spring placement test.
Ellipsis Math Levels
Ellipsis Academy's Math levels are more advanced and deeper than most schools. Each level has been specifically designed and sequenced to accelerate the advancement and depth of student’s math skills and prepare them to take advantage of and excel on the school’s accelerated Math pathways.
Our Math levels are typically 1 to 3 level higher than schools and we recommend that students start early so that the learning curve is not too steep. The chart below illustrates the Ellipsis Academy Math Levels in relation to student's grades.
- Gradually advance and deepen student’s math skills and prepare them to excel on the school’s accelerated Math pathways (leap 1 to 3 grade math levels).
- Develop student’s critical thinking, logic and problem-solving skills by coaching them on various problem solving strategies and how to apply their math skills to solve word problems.
Enrollment Process
- Placement test: All students who are interested in our Ellipsis Math classes (including returning students) are required to take our FREE Online Math Assessment. This is to ensure that all students are appropriately challenged and placed in the right level.
- Results notification: Parents will be notified ahead of time when (exact date and time) the result will be available and emailed to them.
- Enrollment link: Once the result is available, parents will receive an email with a link to enroll to the Ellipsis Math classes that the student qualifies for. If a student doesn’t qualify, an option would be to enroll for Ellipsis FlexMath and then try again for the Spring semester. You can learn more about Ellipsis FlexMath HERE

Curriculum
Our proprietary curriculum is advanced and rigorous; it is specifically designed and proven to advance and deepen students math, critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Ellipsis Math students typically tested one to three grade levels higher in Math than their school peers.
Our curriculum is based on Singapore Math which has been adapted to advance and deepen student’s math skills and ensure their success in the U.S schools math pathways. Our curriculum focuses not only on solid understanding of Math fundamentals, but also on developing student's problem solving and critical thinking skills. You can learn more about our curriculum and approaches HERE.
Accelerated Math Pathways at School
Most schools provide an opportunity for students to take advantage of an Accelerated Math Pathways. Typically, towards the end of 5th or 6th grade, students can be evaluated to determine whether they can skip one or more Math levels at school and take Pre-Algebra or Algebra much earlier.
Ellipsis Academy's students are well prepared to potentially leap one to three grades higher in Math and take advantage of the accelerated Math pathways which enables all of the great benefits listed below:

Ellipsis Academy's students are well prepared to potentially leap one to three grades higher in Math and take advantage of the accelerated Math pathways which enables all of the great benefits listed below:
- Take college level Math and Science classes in high school (AB and BC Calc) which are equivalent to at least one year of calculus at most colleges and universities. This also enables students to take other AP science classes such as AP Physics which is also equivalent to at least one semester of Physics at most colleges and universities.
- Financial gain for parents. Many colleges and universities will take credit transfer of AB and BC calc along with other AP science classes thus providing significant financial gain for parents.
- Start taking SAT/ACT much earlier and better equipped to get high scores that top colleges and universities require.
In addition, other great benefits include:
- Build a strong math foundation
- Strengthen problem solving and critical thinking skills
- Opportunity to attend various math competition events
- Increase Confidence
- Experience team building
- Belong in a group with similar interest
- Have fun with math games and group activities
