Earn AMC 8 and MathCounts awards! Start early to set a strong foundation for success in high school STEM courses and olympiads.

The AMC 8 | MATHCOUNTS training program introduces the exciting world of competition math to interested students. It also lays a strong foundation for future success in high school math courses. It consists of Basic level subject courses and several Advanced modules that build upon the Basic concepts. Students who successfully complete this program will qualify for Honors in AMC 8 contest and advance to State level in MATHCOUNTS.

Even if you're not into competitive programming, this training program could still be perfect for you. The classes are designed to boost your problem-solving and critical thinking skills—key strengths for excelling in high school STEM courses.

During each session, students engage in lectures covering new topics, followed by solving in class exercises. Homework problems are assigned to reinforce learning, with automatic grading provided through the Star League Online Portal (SLOnline).

The training program follows a structured sequence of modules, each loosely building upon the concepts introduced in the preceding module. So they are recommended to be taken in the presented order. However, the order is not strictly required among the foundational subject modules.

For New Students

If you are new to competition math start from the first module, Algebra and work way through the sequence of modules. If you already took AMC 8 exam and scored between 10-14, again the Basic sequence is recommended.

Students with Strong Background

If you scored 16+ on AMC 8 or 25+ on MATHCOUNTS Chapter, and you already took Algebra and Geometry, you can start with the Advanced sequence.

Online Camps are live classes conducted during the school breaks such as summer time or the winter break. Camps are great for students to learn new skills or improve acquired skills through intensive practice.

Accelerates and Boosts Learning

Online camp classes provide highly efficient learning environments, allowing students to cover a semester worth of material in a week.

Builds Confidence with Extra Practice

Online camp classes offer extra practice time, boosting student self-confidence and motivating them to study further.

Interactive Live Instruction

Our teaching platform offers audio-video, live chat, and shared notebooks, allowing students to interact as they prefer, resulting in increased engagement.

Make Up with Daily Recordings

All live camp classes are recorded. If you miss a lesson, you can review the lecture on the same day to catch up and get ready for the next day.

One Year Access

After the scheduled camp sessions are over, you will have access for the recorded version of the class for one calendar year through SLOnline.

Automatic Grading

You get immediate feedback when you submit your code or take a math quiz while doing homework.

Progress Checks

You will be able to take mid-term or final exams to check your progress. They are timed as in actual contests and automatically scored.

Full Solutions Provided

We provide detailed solutions to all problems of the class in pdf or text format. You don't need to purchase a separate textbook to check your work.

Algebra curriculum covers most of a traditional Algebra I course, with a few distinctions. For instance, we cover graphing and analytic geometry in the Geometry module, while Quadratics are addressed in the Advanced Part 1 module. Each topic features a range of subtopics—for example, Linear Equations includes both strategies for solving single equations and methods for solving systems of linear equations. Additionally, each topic is complemented by classic problems and more challenging competition questions to deepen understanding and problem-solving skills.
Numbers and Operations
Algebraic Expressions
Linear Equations
Ratios and Proportions
Factoring
Inequalities
Geometry curriculum covers much of a classic Geometry course. Categorization below is based on primitive concepts. "Length" chapter may cover length problems that involve triangles, polygons, as well as circles. So, each topic includes several traditional subtopics. For example, 3D Geometry include surface areas as well as volume formulas. Additionally, each topic is enriched with classic problems as well as more challenging competition questions.
Angles
Similarity
Length
Area
Analytic Geometry
3D Geometry
Combinatorics concepts are rarely taught properly in middle schools, yet they are crucial for competitions and the development of critical thinking skills. Our program offers a thorough exploration of these topics, combining classic problems with more challenging competition questions to foster a well-rounded understanding and proficiency.
Elementary Counting
Permutations
Combinations
Probability
Logic and Puzzles
Number Theory concepts are underemphasized in middle schools, yet they play a key role in competitions and recreational mathematics. Our program provides a rigorous exploration of these topics, combining classic problems with more challenging competition questions. This module also includes a chapter on Statistics and another on Sequences.
Prime Numbers
Divisors and Multiples
GCD, LCM
Sequences
Statistics
Advanced Part I module includes the following topics that are designed to improve problem solving skills in the subjects of Algebra, Counting, and Probability. Advanced modules assume that the student has mastered the skills of the intro level and challenges students with additional topics and more complex problems.
Numbers and Operations
Algebraic Expressions
Linear Equations
Rate and Work
Polynomials
Quadratics
Inequalities
Binomial Expansion
Counting Principles
Permutations
Combinations
Probability
Logic and Puzzles
Advanced Part II module includes the following topics that are designed to improve problem solving skills in the subjects of Geometry and Number Theory. Advanced modules assume that the student has mastered the skills of the intro level and challenges students with additional concepts and more complex problems.
Angles
