This in-person competition math camp will be hosted at Saratoga Library. In the span of three weeks, middle schoolers, advanced elementary schoolers, and high school underclassmen (AMC 8 and AMC 10 have similar topics) will gain a wider understanding of topics covered in the American Mathematics Competition 8 (AMC 8), like number theory, counting and probability, and coordinate geometry. The curriculum will use released AMC 8 exams to track student progress and topic-specific problems. While we aim to improve exam performance, we also hope to nurture our students’ love of math.
