Who is this for?
Anyone who has ever argued that “2 + 2 = 5… for very large 2’s”!
Any child of grade <=K can give AMC(K).

No deadlines! Join anytime — just be consistent once you start.

AMC stands for American Mathematics Competitions — fun national contests that build logic and problem-solving skills. See <link> for more information.

Our Vision

Is your child ready to take their math skills to the next level?  

We offer a supportive and stimulating environment designed to challenge and prepare kids for math competitions. 

The time spent with us is an investment to cultivate a love for learning and solving problems, equip them with problem-solving skills which may last a life-time.

Why work with us?

  1. Our small group setting allows for an active learning setting aiding in understanding approaches to tackling AMCⓘ-style problems where mistakes are seen as opportunities for growth.

  2. Children are encouraged to present to their peers, and answering questions will boost the child's problem-solving confidence. 

  3. We'll have mock tests and discuss strategies/ time management techniques/ help develop the mental stamina needed to excel under pressure.

  4. Finally, we are passionate applied-math parents😁, working with our kids as well. We tailor our discussions of the content required for these competitive exams both from our individual applied research streams and the traditional proofs.  

Books / Material: 

  1. Art of Problem Solving 

  2. Challenge and Thrill of Pre-College Mathematics 

  3. Books by Titu Andreescu -- Sample list 

  4. Math Olympiad Series - link 

  5. Books by Martin Gardner -- Sample list

Categories: AMC 8 /10 are the two levels we are currently aiming to let children appear for exams. The "feeder" group is aimed at younger kids, not aiming at an exam directly, but slowly grooming them to get into AMC8. 

FAQs

  1. Class fee --- Currently, there are no fees for the classes. We are a group of volunteer parents working together with our children.
