2015 Summer AMC 8 Training Program

Registration closed

For students who are preparing for the 2015 AMC 8/2016 Mathcounts Chapter and State Competitions. The program is online with blackboard writing, audio, and video (using Google Hangouts with Share Screen/SketchUp tools).

In each lesson, we will have a lecture about the basic knowledge/skills with plenty of examples, mainly following our books "AMC 8 Preparation". We will provide around 20 practice problems after each lesson as homework. Students can post any questions they may have on our discussion forum for this program.

Since the maximum number of people for a Google Hangout is 15, we can have at most 14 students. If you would like to register, please register as soon as possible. You will need a gmail account and this plugin to access Google Hangouts.

Time: Every Sunday from 7:00 pm to 8:40 pm Eastern Time: Two 45-minute classes with a 10 minutes break in between.
