A clear definition
What Are Online Honors Math Classes?
Online honors math classes are live, accelerated courses for students who need more depth, pace, and problem-solving challenge than a standard mathematics class provides. ACE Academy delivers instruction in English through small online groups, with curriculum based on AoPS materials and connected to school academics, Honors and AP preparation, and mathematical competitions. Students can study Pre-Algebra, Algebra I, Geometry, and advanced mathematics while receiving placement guidance, practice, assessments, and recorded lesson support.
The pathway
Move forward with the right level of challenge
The Honors Math sequence is designed to connect school readiness with longer-term advanced study.

Choose the right use case
One honors pathway, several reasons to begin
The same structured course model can support acceleration, academic confidence, competition preparation, and STEM-oriented goals.
Learn with a complete online rhythm
Preparation, live instruction, guided practice, homework, recorded explanations, reviews, and assessments work together instead of leaving practice disconnected.
Prepare for demanding problems
Geometry, similarity, circles, trigonometry, proof, and multi-step reasoning support AMC, AIME, MathCounts, and related competition goals.
A closer look at Geometry
Online Honors Geometry that turns visual intuition into proof
Geometry is a central module in the honors pathway. Students move from angles and triangle relationships to congruence, similarity, circles, spatial modeling, coordinate geometry, and trigonometry. The course is designed for students currently taking or having completed Algebra I, AceMath Pre-Algebra A/B, or an equivalent course.
Circular segments, sectors, and the common lens area
Special right triangles and the relationship between legs and hypotenuse
What students get
What You Get From an Online Honors Math Class
The goal is not simply to move faster. It is to help students understand why a solution works and apply that reasoning in unfamiliar settings.
Build formal reasoning. Practice moving from known information to logical conclusions through proof and explanation.
Connect topics across levels. Link geometry with algebra, coordinates, ratios, and trigonometric expressions.
Prepare for Honors and AP tracks. Develop foundations for Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, Calculus, and advanced science courses.
Strengthen competition thinking. Work with similarity, circles, trigonometry, and multi-step problems relevant to AMC, AIME, and MathCounts.
Participate in a small group. Learn in classes of 6–12 students with opportunities for guided practice and feedback.
Review beyond live class. Use recorded lessons and recorded homework explanations to revisit difficult concepts.

Use case example
A Practical Online Honors Geometry Scenario
Consider a Grade 7 or Grade 8 student who is currently taking or has completed Algebra I and wants to reach Geometry early. The student completes the placement test, joins a small weekly class, and works through the progression from parallel-line angles and triangle congruence to circles, solid geometry, analytic geometry, and trigonometry.
Starting point
Algebra I readiness
The student has completed Algebra I or an equivalent course and wants a more advanced Geometry pathway than the immediate school schedule provides.
Learning experience
Reasoning in action
During a lesson on overlapping circles, the student uses sector area, isosceles triangles, and special right triangles to derive the shaded lens area rather than relying on a memorized answer.
Longer-term outcome
A connected pathway
The work supports readiness for Algebra II, Pre-Calculus, advanced placement, competition problem-solving, and STEM subjects that use spatial and quantitative reasoning.
