教材 Textbook:
The Art of Problem Solving: Introduction to Algebra by Richard Rusczyk. We believe that the best way to learn mathematics is by solving problems. Lots and lots of problems! Algebra 1 is a 9th grade class according to AAPS. However, most of our students are from 6th and 7th graders during the last 3 years. Some students may feel challenged in this class since it’s a high school math class. Doing homework is the most important part of this class. If a student could do homework without help, it’s a strong indication that the student does well in this class.

李忠瑞 Zhongrui Li Biography
Teaching and learning enrich lives. Being a formally trained teacher in STEM, Dr. Li has been actively involved in various levels of education for over 20 years. His teaching experience ranges from being a private tutor to a middle school teacher and a college lecturer. He is familiar with the math curriculum from kindergarten to grade 12; he likes interactive activities to help the students practice what they have learned and to keep them engaged and could help encourage more students to enjoy math and to succeed at it. As a researcher in science, he deeply understands the value of a good math education which goes far beyond the ability to get a good score on the SAT and get into college—it gives you the ability to think critically and solve real-world problems efficiently. Being able to inspire students to look at mathematics in new and applicable ways is his commitment to Ann-Hua Chinese School.
