Class Experience

Students will work through counting and probability problems under the teacher’s guidance. Each session includes:

1. An introduction to the day’s topic.
2. Guided practice solving 6-8 of the more challenging AMC-style problems.
3. Group discussions to explore strategies and address common challenges.

Students are encouraged to ask questions using the chat function if they need help during class. Each session concludes with a review of the problems, highlighting key takeaways and common pitfalls to avoid.

This class is ideal for students who have some familiarity with counting and probability but want to solidify their skills with structured guidance. The pace allows time for reflection and practice but ensures all major topics are covered.

We will leave the easier questions for students to work out on their own.  Or they can take the Beginner AMC 8 class that will cover the easier questions. 

Extremely advanced students may want to study on their own, and attend classes from time to time for a refresher.

AMC 8 Description From the Creators

Description of the AMC 8 from the creators (https://www.maa.org/math-competitions/amc-8)

"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 allows 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, later questions may involve linear or quadratic functions and equations, coordinate geometry, and other topics traditionally covered in a beginning algebra course."
