Our Uniqueness

We have a long history of close collaboration with the MAA'sAmerican Mathematics Competitions (AMC), which are dedicated to strengthening the mathematical capabilities of our nation's youth, and are the first of a series of competitions in high school mathematics that determine the United States team for the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO).

We are only one in the Washington DC metropolitan area to offer elementary, middle, and high-school level competition math courses. Our students have received top scores and awards at prestigious national math competitions.

Great Benefits of Math Competitions

In an increasingly competitive college application pool, the process of mastering math skills through our courses and participating in the American Math Competitions will help students strengthen and diversify their extracurricular activities. These contests can motivate students' interest and passion in math, and they can discover their talent through solving challenging problems different from those in the school classes. Many top colleges also request AMC scores as part of the college application process. BothMITandCaltech have entry blanks on their official admission application forms for the applicant to enter their best AMC and AIME scores.Ivy League Colleges andStanfordask for to the AMC and AIME scores in their Supplement to the Common Application Forms. Your children deserve the chance to list these scores on their applications!Good AMC scores will greatly enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges.

12 tutorial handouts (>480 pages) developed by Dr. Henry Wan and 500 new problems at the AIME level from the licensed AMC Database
2 FREE mock tests that are intended to mimic an actual math competition exam, each of which has 15 questions similar to the AIME level taken from the licensed AMC Database. These simulated tests help students assess their level of preparation for the Math Competitions. After attempting the test, students get answers, explanations, and a detailed score report and wise performance summary.

Homework: At least 2 hour of homework per class. Students are expected to complete all of the previous AIME contests in the past 10 years, which is over 60 hours of practice. Our instructors are open to questions on any previous AIMEs.

All problems fromall of the previous 58 AIME contests (1983-2021) form our "big data" system. We have used data mining and predictive analytics to examine the types and the frequencies of questions in all these materials, and then completely "decoded" the AIME. We will show all the "secret code" cracked from the above big data to students, and teach them to totally grasp and "control" the AIME. For all questions on the recent AIME contests, we can find their "ancestors" and "roots" from the old AIME problems. Therefore, the best way to prepare for the contest is to practice by solving old AIME problems.

$do-math$

We have to face the simple truth that to do well on these grueling contests, we will need to practice. Just like it is for sports and music, the key to success is repetition and practice. We strongly believe in effort and the malleability of intelligence. Intelligence can be enhanced through effort. People can develop impressive levels of expertise through hard work and practice. Effort and persistence are the keys to success. Hard work always pays off: practice makes perfect!

All problems from past AMC 8 exams (1985-2020), AMC 10 exams (2000-2021), and MathCounts (1990–2021) form our "big data" system. Based on artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning, we devised a data mining and predictive analytics tool for math problem similarity searching. Using this powerful tool, we examined the types, styles, frequencies, characteristics, and traits of questions in all these materials, and then completely "decoded" the AMC, and MathCounts. We always completely show all the "secret code" cracked from the above big data to our students, and teach them to totally grasp and "control" the AMC and MathCounts.For all questions on the recent AMC/MathCounts contests, we can find their "ancestors" and "roots" from the old AMC/MathCounts problems. Therefore, the best way to prepare for the contest is to practice by solving old AMC /MathCounts problems.

Main Purpose:

Our main purpose is to help our students gain deeper understanding of the fundamental math concepts, build a solid foundation in math, and develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are so valuable to success in any career. We are big believers in the FUNDAMENTALS! Our students will receive the LIFELONG BENEFITS from learning math.

Regardless of his/her math level, each student will have the opportunity to learn math in a fun, friendly, cooperative, supportive learning environment. The most important thing is to have fun.

Online Mental Math (Special Winter Session) Starting December 23

The period of time between 4th-8th grade is most critical to the development of students' mathematical fascinations, interests, and skills!

Description:

Too often, math is taught as a set of rigid rules, leaving little room for creative thinking. But as you will learn from this course, there are often several ways to solve the same problem. Large problems can be broken down into smaller, more manageable components. We look for special features to make our problems easier to solve. These strike me as being valuable life lessons that we can use in approaching all kinds of problems, mathematical and otherwise.

Based on many years of teaching experience, that rapid math is a valuable skill that anyone can learn. And like any worthwhile skill, it takes practice and dedication if you wish to become an expert. But to achieve these results efficiently, it is important that you practice the right way.

We will share all of our secrets for doing math in your head, quickly and easily. You will learn to do math in your head faster than you ever thought possible. After a little practice, you will dramatically improve your memory for numbers. You will learn feats of mind that will impress your friends, classmates, and teachers. But you will also learn to view math as an activity that can actually be fun.

Calendar for the American Mathematics Competitions

AMC affiliate_logo copy

The AMC 8 is a fun mathematics competition, aimed primarily at middle school students in grades 6, 7, and 8. Highly motivated 4th and 5th grade students are encouraged to participate as well. Last year the AMC 8 contest involved over 150,000 students worldwide.

AAEAAQAAAAAAAAMYAAAAJDllOGE1NDZkLWJhZjUtNDgwMC05ZGRhLWIzMDQ2MGU1Nzg1Ng

With these contests, there are awards in each school for the student with the highest score, certificates for high-scoring students in each school, and state-wide awards. The AMC 8 contest can lead to other more selective math contests, even all the way to the United States of America team sent to the International Mathematical Olympiad, the premier international high school level mathematical problem solving contest. But the real rewards come from challenging each student with mathematics that is new, different, and "outside of the box." The problems on the contest are difficult, but designed to be within the reach of students. Even so, if your son or daughter managed to solve only one or two problems, this should be an encouragement to learn more, because these problems are meant to be more challenging than students routinely encounter in their mathematics courses.

you-can-do-it-1r8

Mathematics is increasingly important in our technological and scientific age. Taking enough mathematics in school is the gateway to jobs and careers of all kinds, even those that are not explicitly mathematical, scientific or technological. We hope that by offering these contests, we can challenge and inspire students to want to learn more mathematics. We hope that your son or daughter enjoys the contests and will continue to take mathematics courses in middle school, high school and beyond.

The 2020 AMC 10/12 Contests Recycle Three Previous AIME Problems

The AMC 10/12 contests are getting harder. This year, the 2020 AMC 10/12 contests recycled three problems from previous AIME contests, which proves that higher level problems are showing up on lower level exams

These three problems from previous AIME contests are shown below:

The 2020 AMC 10A Problem 19 is the exact same as the 2016 AIME I Problem 3 .
The 2020 AMC 12A Problem 24 is the exact same as the 2012 AIME I Problem 13.
The 2020 AMC 10B Problem 21 (also known as Problem 18 on the 2020 AMC 12B) is the exact same as the 2015 AIME I Problem 7 .

Because we discussed the detailed solutions for these three problems from past AIME contests in our AMC 10/12 prep class, our students were able to successfully answer these exact same problems on the 2020 AMC 10/12 contests. This greatly improved their overall score to qualify for the AIME.

Because the AMC 10/12 problems are getting harder, we must practice not only previous AMC 10/12 problems but also easy or medium difficulty level problems from previous AIME to do well on the AIME. 1136217959-c032701ebba946fc4a01ff9a1aa9f3cd

20 Sets of AMC 12 Mock Test with Detailed Solutions

AMC 12-2017

Click HERE to see a typicalAMC 12 Mock Test Sample.

Click HERE to see the detailed solution of the AMC 12 Mock Test Sample.

We collected all problems all problems from past AMC 12 exams (2000-2017) and AHSME (1950–1999) to form our "big data" system. The AHSME (American High School Mathematics Examination) was the former name of the AMC 12, before 2000. Based on artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning, we devised adata mining and predictive analytics tool for math problem similarity searching . Using this powerful tool, we examined the types, styles, frequencies, characteristics, and traits of questions in all these materials, and then completely "decoded" the AMC 12.

According to the "secret code" cracked from the above big data, we developed20 sets of AMC 12 mock testthat are intended to mimic the actual AMC 12 exam, each of which with 25brand new questions all calibrated to be at the same difficulty level and style as the real AMC 12.These simulated tests are extremely helpful to assess student's level of preparation for the AMC 12 Contest. For each of the 20 mock tests, we also devised detailed solutions to all 25 problems. All these mock tests and their detailed solutions have formed a golden resource for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries.

Make time to take the mock test.

Taking a mock test is one of the best ways to maximize the benefit of learning all the ideas, methods, strategies, tactics, skills, and techniques used in order to grasp math and get a high score on the AMC 12 and the other math contests!

We collected all problems from past AMC 10 exams (2000-2017), which form our "big data" system. Based on artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and deep learning, we devised adata mining and predictive analytics tool for math problem similarity searching . Using this powerful tool, we examined the types, styles, and frequencies of questions in all these materials, and then completely "decoded" the AMC 10.

According to the "secret code" cracked from the above big data, we developed20 sets of AMC 10 mock testthat are intended to mimic the actual AMC 10 exam, each of which with 25brand new questions all calibrated to be at the same difficulty level and style as the real AMC 10.These simulated tests are extremely helpful to assess student's level of preparation for the AMC 10 Contest. For each of the 20 mock tests, we also devised detailed solutions to all 25 problems. All these mock tests and their detailed solutions have formed a golden resource for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries.

Make time to take the mock test.

20 Sets of AMC 8 Mock Test with Detailed Solutions

MAA AMC 8

We collected all problems from past AMC 8 exams (1999-2020) and AJHSME (1985–1998), which form our "big data" system. The AJHSME (American Junior High School Mathematics Examination) was the former name of the AMC 8, before 1999.We used data mining and predictive analytics to examine the types, styles, and frequencies of questions in all these materials, and then completely "decoded" the AMC 8.

Based on the "secret code" cracked from the above big data, we developed20 sets of AMC 8 mock testthat are intended to mimic the actual AMC 8 exam, each of which with 25brand new questions all calibrated to be at the same difficulty level and style as the real AMC 8.

All these mock tests and their detailed solutions have formed a golden resource for our students, who are the ultimate beneficiaries.
