Description 简介
We will be covering advanced topics related to competition math and working on problem solving from competitions like MATHCOUNTS, AMC 10, AIME, and the NC State Math Contest.

This class is geared towards ambitious students with a strong drive to hone and sharpen their skills. A certain degree of proficiency and experience is expected as a prerequisite, since we will dive straight into the problem solving aspect of
competition math.

Throughout the year, we will cover a broad range of topics spanning all 4 major subjects (algebra, geometry, number theory, counting & probability) that math competitions usually test on. Classes usually consist of an interactive lecture
followed by a problem-solving session, where students can collaborate with others and solve related problems. A supplementary handout will be given to students during most classes, which the students are expected to keep for future reference.

This class is competition-oriented in nature, with the goal of helping students perform better in contests such as MathCounts, AMC8, AMC10, and NC State Math Contest. Developing a “problem-solving intuition” is much more important and useful than memorizing formulas. As a result, this class will stress the importance of critical thinking and go over several problem-solving strategies that may come in handy. Instead of just memorizing formulas, we will instead go over the proofs of such formulas and actually work to understand how they work.

Of course, we will also do plenty of fun activities to help keep the students engaged. One of my personal favorites is Plank Countdown, in which students race to solve math competitions — while in a planking position. If students pay attention in class and take the time to work through the provided problems, their improvement is guaranteed!
