WHAT IS COVERED IN CLASS?

There will be a topic lesson and practice on a few AMC 8 problems. This class will cover the last 5 questions of the AMC 8. 

Students can drop in or out during any session. We will not build on prior weeks.

----

Recommended for homeschoolers or as an after-school supplement class.

----

CLASS EXPERIENCE

Students will get instruction from the teacher as they work through new topics together.  If a student needs assistance when the teacher is teaching, we recommend that students use chat so that other students can continue to attempt the problems.
During these sessions, we will discuss strategies and techniques. We want students to be introduced to the AMC test topics and thoroughly understand them.  

This class is for students who do not have the knowledge base and exposure to the topics in the AMC. In general, we will go at a medium pace, rather than a fast pace. So students will have time to think and attempt every problem type, but they may not be able to solve every problem if they run out of time. 

Extremely advanced students may want to try the competition class that is faster pace Competition math 5-6.

PRE-REQUISITES AND PLACEMENT TEST

Advanced students who have completed the 5th-grade math curriculum would be ready to attempt problems such as these. Students who have taken our Singapore math methods classes through level 6 will find a lot of these topics are a refresher.

SAMPLE QUESTIONS

Here are some sample questions like those we cover in class. If your student can do 2 out of 3 of these questions, then the class is a good fit.  You can also take the pre-assessment as noted above.

1. Amanda added all of the integers from 1 to 9, but she accidentally left out a number. Her incorrect number turned out to be a multiple of 13. What number did Amanda leave out?

2. Andrew rolls two standard 6-sided dice. He noticed that the sum of the two numbers is a perfect cube. Which of the following integers cannot be the product of the two numbers?

3. Three-fifths of a bucket is filled with water. The bucket is emptied by pouring
an equal amount of water into each of 12 containers. What percent of the total
capacity of the bucket did each container receive?

AMC 8 DESCRIPTION FROM THE CREATORS

Description of the AMC 8 from the creators 
"The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills. The AMC 8 provides an opportunity for middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers. Students apply classroom skills to unique problem-solving challenges in a low-stress and friendly environment.

The material covered on the AMC 8 includes topics [and more] from a typical middle school mathematics curriculum. Possible topics include but are not limited to: counting and probability, estimation, proportional reasoning, elementary geometry including the Pythagorean Theorem, spatial visualization, everyday applications, and reading and interpreting graphs and tables. In addition, some of the later questions may involve linear or quadratic functions and equations, coordinate geometry, and other topics traditionally covered in a beginning algebra course."

DISCLAIMER

We are not in any way affiliated with MAA. This is a class that provides an opportunity for students to ask questions and gain clarity on the steps and strategies for the challenging problems in each test set. We will leave the easier questions for students to work out on their own.  Or we recommend that they can take the 3/4 class that will cover the easier questions.
