About the course
Young Fermats Geometry runs alongside Algebra Ignite for middle-school students who are ready for a full intro geometry term. We cover angle relationships, triangle congruence, Pythagorean reasoning, coordinate geometry, area and volume — and introduce the proof-style thinking that pays off in high-school honors geometry. Courses are rolling — a student can join at any meeting and continue into the next term without losing the thread.
A typical class
Every Young Fermats - Geometry class follows the same structure so students walk in knowing what to expect and walk out with a corrected mini-quiz in hand.
Warm-up with logic puzzles, math riddles, and short brain-teaser problems. The point is to switch the brain on without yet introducing today’s topic — students arrive at different focus levels and this 30-minute block evens the room.
First half of today’s topic. One geometry topic per meeting — angle relationships, triangle congruence, Pythagorean, coordinate geometry, or area/volume. Concept-first: the instructor demonstrates one or two worked examples, then students try guided practice with the teacher walking the table.
A short break — water, stretch, a quick chat. Five minutes is enough to reset focus without losing the rhythm of the class.
Second half of the topic, focused on word problems, abstraction, and math applied to real situations — the place where rote knowledge turns into real understanding. Examples we use: Calculating the diagonal of a TV screen from its dimensions (Pythagorean theorem).; Figuring out the volume of paint needed for a real wall in your room.; Mapping the height of a Manhattan skyscraper using similar triangles and a shadow..
A short timed mini-quiz on today’s topic, then we correct it together — question by question, out loud, with the right strategy spelled out for each item. Parents get the corrected paper at the end of the session so they know exactly where their child stands.

Frequently asked
Every SOMATH class is capped at 6 students. That is the number that lets one teacher see every student's work in real time, correct silent mistakes before they become habits, and pace to the room instead of the average. Larger groups defeat the whole point of small-group teaching, so we hold the cap firmly.
In person at 226 W 79th Street, 1st Floor, New York, NY 10024 — one block from the 79th Street 1 train and a short walk from the B and C at 81st Street. We do not offer online classes; the small-group model relies on shared whiteboard work and in-room feedback.
$99 one-time registration covers a placement test, a written diagnostic, and a personalized learning plan delivered within 48 hours. Workbooks, problem sets, and printed practice tests are included at no extra charge. The $99 registration is separate from monthly tuition.
Yes. Cancel anytime with 15 days written notice — no long-term contract. Up to 4 weeks of free pause per year to cover travel or family events, and one free make-up per month for a missed class (subject to available seats in another cohort).
Yes. Every new family starts with a free 60-minute evaluation in our classroom plus a written diagnostic delivered within 48 hours. There is no charge and no commitment — the diagnostic is yours to keep whether you enroll or not. Book at schoolofmath.us/evaluation or call (646) 668-6151.
Yes. The syllabus covers everything on the New York State Geometry Regents (transformations, triangle congruence and similarity, right triangle trigonometry, circles, and coordinate geometry) with practice sets drawn from released Regents exams in the final classes. Students preparing for other geometry curricula are supported equally.
