Description

This course is for students who have a solid understanding of Algebra 1 and Geometry and are aiming for a high score on the AMC 8. In this eight-week program, we will teach algebra and counting skills necessary to solve AMC 8 problems and the first 15 problems on the AMC 10. In addition, we will give students problem-solving tips specific to math competitions and assign homework on a weekly basis, some of which will be reviewed in class.

On the week of April 8th, the class will be taught from 5-6 pm instead.
