Berkeley mini Math Tournament is a math competition hosted for middle school students once a year. Students compete in multiple rounds: individual round, team round, puzzle round, and relay round.

BmMT 2025 Online will be held on June 7th, and registration is OPEN! Registration is $8 per student. Our website https://berkeley.mt/events/bmmt-2025-online/ has more details about the event, past tests to practice with, and frequently asked questions. We look forward to building community and inspiring students as they explore the world of math!

3 out of 4 of the rounds are completed with a team, so it’s a great opportunity for students to work together. Beyond getting more comfortable with math and becoming better problem solvers, our team is preparing some fun post-competition activities!

Registration is open to students in grades 8 or below. You do not have to be local to the Bay Area or California to register for BmMT Online. Students may register as a team of 1, but it is beneficial to compete on a team of at least 3 due to our scoring guideline and for the experience.

We hope you consider attending, or if you are a parent or teacher, that you encourage your students to think about attending BmMT. Thank you, and once again find more details/register at our website,https://berkeley.mt.

I'm a rising ninth grader who wasn't in the school math league this year, and basically put aside comp math for a year. Unfortunately, that means that now that I'm in high school and having the epiphany about how important comp math actually is, and how much it would help my chances of getting involved in other math-related programs. In addition, I do enjoy math in general, and suspect that things like the AMCs are probably going to be some of the best practice I can get. What this all means is that I'm trying to go from mediocre to orz, 2 years after I probably should have started if I wanted to be any good.

So my question is: how do I get good at comp math?

This year, my scores on AMC 10 (and these are the highest I've ever gotten) were a 73.5 and an 82.5 (AMC 8 was 21/25, but that doesn't matter much). This is not good enough to qualify for AIME, and I probably need to raise my performance on each by at least 10 points. I've been decently good in the past at Number Theory, but I need to work on Geo and Combinatorics, and I'm trying to find the best resources to do that. My biggest flaw is probably not knowing many algorithms like Stars and Bars, and the path is clear here (learn them) but I'm still not sure which ones I need to know.

I'm aware that some of this advice is going to be something like "Practice 5 hours a day and start hardgrinding" or something along those lines. Unfortunately, I have other extracurriculars I need to balance, and for me, time is a limiting resource. My parents are somewhat frowning upon me doing a lot of comp math, which limits my time as well. I have neither the time nor motivation to do more than an hour a day, and in practice, I don't think I can be doing that consistently. As such, I would need to make that time count.

I know this is a very general question, and that aops is chock-full of detailed advice for math competitions. However, I'd appreciate it if anyone here could help me out, or show me the best resources I should use to get started. What mocks are any good, or what textbooks should I use? Where do I get the best practice with the shortest time? Is there some place I can find a list of useful formulas that have appeared in math comps before?

All advice is welcome!

Hello AoPS!

MathEXplained MAGAZINE aims to be a monthly newsletter that publishes articles in a newspaper-style format about various math related subjects in a way which can appeal to a broader audience. Topics may range from trending news stories within the math community to in-depth dissections of niche and interesting mathematical topics for more advanced readers.

Our Goal

While many of us on this platform might feel as if math is something super familiar to us, the truth is that this isn't the case outside of our tightly-knit community. Math doesn't get much coverage in mainstream media due to it being wrongfully seen by the general population either as a nerd's hobby or extremely foreign to the average person. Our mission as an organization is to promote mathematics through recognizing top mathletes, covering interesting math topics, and painting mathematics as something which can be fun and easy to get into.

April 2025 Edition

Celebrate the coming of Spring with MEX MAGAZINE's new publication! Check out this file to solve some Spring related math problems! Make sure to also read about our other spreads which cover fibonacci in nature and fractals in nature!

Hi! I'm Joey, and right now I'm hosting a free community type math competition in my state (FL) and a few others across the country with my organization ExcelAcademe. This month will be our third official contest. We do a middle school as well as high school test, each is 60 minutes, and they have a MCQ and short answer section at about mid AMC10/12 to low/mid AIME difficulty. We have past tests up on our website at https://excelacademe.com/rankings/ if anybody's interested.

We're looking for people who are interested in starting up chapters in their own areas and helping expand our competition, or anyone who wants to help out with test-writing. We have been concentrating on hosting the competitions at local libraries and schools, and the top winners each month get a prize from one of our sponsors (Wolfram, Jane Street, (and hopefully more soon)). Anyone who's interested in hosting or test writing please let me know :)

If you were in 8th grade, would you rather go to MOP or mc nats? I chose to study the former more and got in so was wondering if that was valid given that I'll never make mc nats.
