AMC 8 and AMC 10

Competition mathematics

Creative problem solving, and the habit of looking for structure.

About the course

Preparation for AMC 8 and AMC 10 that develops mathematical judgement alongside contest practice.

Find an entry point
Learn to test small cases, draw a useful diagram, or restate a problem in a form that can be worked with.
Compare strategies
Explore the algebra, geometry, counting and number-theory approaches that suit the contest, and weigh one against another.
Practise with reflection
Review why a method worked, where the time went, and what to recognise the next time it appears.

For students who enjoy hard problems and want to develop contest skill.
