Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version A)

This course is a special two-day, 5-hour seminar to prepare for the AMC 8 and other middle school level math contests. The AMC 8 is the premier fall math contest for middle school students, and also gives students early problem-solving experience that is valuable towards the high-school level AMC 10 and AMC 12 contests. In this course, students learn problem solving strategies and test-taking tactics over two lessons — during each lesson, class will meet over a 3-hour period, with a half-hour break in the middle. The course also includes a practice AMC 8 test. This course covers entirely different problems than the Special AMC 8 Seminar (Version B).

My 9-year-old son LOVED it! The math was inspiring, the teacher had a wonderful sense of humor, and the classroom gave him his first opportunity to meet other students who love math as much as he does. Amazing job! Thank goodness we found AOPS!
