Series Details

About

We'll go over a topic and try many practice problems, as "practice makes perfect" - especially in competitive math. We'll also look back at the mistakes, using them as a basis for improvement. The majority of this series will be based on "the Art of Problem Solving - Volume 1: the Basics". A copy of the book is NOT necessary to participate in this series.

Some sessions may only be relevant for those taking the AMC 10/12, which will be indicated in the description.

This series is suitable for those in middle school Mathcounts teams or those in high school that score below 90 on the AMC 10 and below 80 on the AMC 12. Scores on the AMC aren't a requirement for the series. Sessions will assume that learners are already aware of the topics covered in each session. Although a brief overview will be provided, it will be fast-paced, to center the sessions on problem-solving. If you aren't familiar with a certain topic that will be covered in a session, consider looking over the topics beforehand to gain some familiarity!

Video participation is highly preferred as it allows for better engagement and interaction. Please notify ahead of time if this isn't possible due to technical difficulties or other reasons.

Note: Not all sessions have been created as more sessions will be added based on learner demand!
