AMC-8 Preparation Classes
During the course, students will learn how to analyze problems, master different methods, and use problem-solving strategies. We will apply this knowledge to real problems from the AMC-8 competition. We will also teach them how to optimize their time during math competitions and will practice writing timed tests.
The program runs on Fridays every other week from 4:00 to 5:30 pm starting September 23th.
The cost of the program is $315.
If after a few classes you or your child decide that the program is not a good fit, the tuition will be prorated and credited to your account or refunded.
If your school doesn’t offer AMC-8, your child can participate in the competition through the studio.
If your child is a studio’s current student, you can enroll your child online on the Parent Portal.
For new students or if you have any questions, please contact the office (617)903-3168 or at admin@engagingmath.com
What is the AMC?
AMC is a well-known math competition that is usually offered in any public or private schools.
The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) are the competitions that build problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge in the middle (AMC-8) and high school (AMC 10/12) students.
What is the 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 provides an opportunity for middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers.
Who is eligible to take AMC-8?
Students with a passion for problem-solving who are in grade 8 or below and under 14.5 years of age on the day of the competition are eligible to participate in the AMC 8.
What topics are covered in AMC-8?
The material covered on the AMC 8 includes topics 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.
