AMC 8 Prep Tue 7:00pm

This course is to build a solid background for students completing elementary Math Olympiad curriculum and looking to pursue the next level of mathematics, and/or for the students prepared to take the fun and challenge of AMC series of Math Contests or its equivalence. Particularly, we are going to focus on the transition from understanding a broad array of basic math knowledge and techniques to better calculation proficiency, organized logical derivation, and deeper understanding of advanced math concepts. The goal is to train students to master mathematical knowledge in a systematic way and to better adapt to the competitive math.

Every Tuesday 7:00 PM – 8:30 PM (EST)
From 9/5/2022 –  12/16/2022 (no class during Thanksgiving week)
