Contest Math

Master math strategies to conquer challenging contest problems.

This course guides students to explore and excel in math contests by investigating the topics and strategies featured in the AMC8 and AMC10 competitions. Students engage in daily lessons on subjects like number theory, algebra, geometry, and probability while practicing problem-solving techniques tailored to contest success. Timed mock tests, group challenges, and interactive discussions provide a dynamic learning experience that builds both confidence and skills.

In addition to lessons, students work on larger projects that allow them to dive deeper into the material. Options include designing a personal problem-solving guide, building a collaborative database of math problems, or creating a math contest simulation. These projects encourage teamwork, creativity, and a deeper understanding of the mathematical concepts behind the contest problems.

By the end of the course, students develop strong problem-solving skills, confidence in tackling challenging math problems, and valuable resources they can continue to use. They leave the class feeling accomplished, prepared, and excited about their progress in math contests.
