About the Program

In very small groups, students work through challenging problems, explore ideas, and discuss solutions together. They develop effective strategies for tackling unfamiliar problems with clarity and efficiency.

Classes are interactive and thoughtfully structured, blending timed practice, independent work, and guided discussion.

What Students Will Practice

Students work with competition-style problems beyond standard classroom math, focusing on recognizing patterns, choosing efficient approaches, and clearly explaining reasoning.

  • Simplifying expressions, power laws, and factoring
  • Geometric reasoning and spatial thinking
  • Counting, probability, and logical reasoning
  • Patterns, sequences, and series

Why Start in Summer

Summer gives students time to build problem-solving habits before the school year gets busy.

They can practice competition-style thinking without added pressure and start the season more confident and prepared.

About the AMC 8

The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute math competition that builds problem-solving and analytical thinking across core middle school topics, presented in creative and non-routine ways.

The AMC 8 is administered through official test centers, typically schools or approved organizations. Families should arrange participation separately through an official AMC test center.
