This challenging summer camp builds on foundational knowledge from standard middle school math courses, so interested students should be at a middle-school math level.
Middle school math contests such as MATHCOUNTS and the American Mathematics Competitions 8 are a launching pad for many of the best math students. In this course, designed for rising 6th through 8th graders, we introduce concepts and strategies necessary for success in a variety of contest settings. We draw problems from several middle school contests and beginning high school contests like the AMC 10.
Students are introduced to important topics in number theory and geometry, and will work individually and collaboratively to solve challenging problems related to these topics. Students will also participate in mock competitions during the camp. These practice tests provide students with mathematical skills and test-taking experience that will prepare them for key events in the upcoming school year.
This camp is a challenge which builds on foundational knowledge that students should already have from their middle school math courses. Students should expect to encounter difficult topics and problems throughout the camp. During the camp, students will participate in daily practice competitions, which are designed to enhance key mathematical skills and increase general test-taking experience. Time Commitment: This 2-week course meets Monday through Friday for three hours each day.
