The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) consist of a series of increasingly difficult tests — the AMC 8, the AMC 10/12, the AIME, and the USA(J)MO — for students from middle school and high school designed to challenge bright students beyond their normal mathematical curriculum and build critical thinking and problem solving skills that will help them throughout their academic career and their lives. The AMC 10 — a 25-question multiple choice contest — serves as most students’ first exposure to high school-level math contests.

      Good AMC scores will also enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges.

Time: 1:30 to 3:30pm, Saturday, 9/3 to 12/10 (No class on 11/26.)

Nelson is a junior at Monta Vista High School who has been involved in math contests since elementary school. He was a perfect scorer on the MOEMS contest in fifth grade and a two-year member of Kennedy Middle School’s MathCounts team, helping the team place second in the State division in eighth grade. He has consistently scored high scores on the AMC contest series, having first qualified for AIME in seventh grade and USAJMO in ninth grade. He has been teaching math to elementary and middle school students for more than three years, having served as a teaching assistant for an immensely popular MOEMS class at Quinlan Community Center in addition to teaching and tutoring competition math at SpringLight. In addition to his interests in math and teaching, Nelson enjoys reading, acting, and writing.

Students should be comfortable with regular school math up to and including Algebra I and Geometry. No previous contest experience is necessary.

AMC10 数学竞赛培训班招生

  AMC是American Mathematics Competition是美国数学竞赛的缩写，是一系列面向初高中学生的,由简至难的数学比赛,包括AMC8,AMC10/12, AIME(美国数学邀请赛)和USA(J)MO(美国数学奥林匹克赛和美国少年数学奥林匹克赛)。

     这一系列竞赛旨在给所有喜爱数学的学生们提供超出学校数学教育之外的挑战,帮助这些孩子培养独立分析问题和解决问题的能力。

      高中数学竞赛10年级组(AMC10)由25道选择题组成, 是为10年级以下高中学生和爱好数学的中学生开设的数学竞赛。

   AMC10表现优异的学生可以获得晋级全美数学邀请赛（AIME）的资格。另外有一份出色的AMC比赛成绩也会帮助学生在大学申请,更可能在名牌大学的申请中脱颖而出。

The AMC 8 contest is for students in the sixth through eighth grade, although accelerated fourth and fifth graders can also take part.

AMC 8 is 25 questions in length, and is multiple-choice with no penalty for guessing. The contest takes 40 minutes. A student’s score is the number of problems correctly solved.

Why participate in AMC-8 (quoted from AMC-8 website)

A special purpose of the AMC 8 is to demonstrate the broad range of topics available for the junior high school mathematics curriculum.

Additional purposes of the AMC 8 are to promote excitement, enthusiasm and positive attitudes towards mathematics and to stimulate interest in continuing the study of mathematics beyond the minimum required for high school graduation. Developmentally, junior high school students are at a point where attitudes toward school and learning, and perceptions of themselves as learners of mathematics are solidified. It is important that they be provided opportunities that foster the development of positive attitudes towards mathematics and positive perceptions of themselves as learners of mathematics. The AMC 8 provides one such opportunity.

—————————————————–

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) is the oldest and most prestigious nationwide mathematics competition in the United States. It started in 1950 and it is and has been the exclusive pathway for a student to advance to the USA Mathematical Olympiad.

Activities like the American Mathematics competitions organized by the Mathematical Association of America allow and encourage students to excel in an academic sphere. The contest is a rewarding experience where mathematical curiosity and skill are stimulated.  AMC is designed to inspire an interest in mathematics that will lead to academic success, scholarship and a rewarding career.

Many well-known colleges and universities request scores from AMC contests at the higher grade levels and use them for recruiting and admissions.

怎样考好AMC？或 AMC该怎么复习？

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) consist of a series of increasingly difficult tests for grades 6-12. Good AMC scores will enhance admission opportunities for students to elite colleges. Its mission is to help students increase interest in math and to develop critical thinking & problem-solving skills in Math. Our students always improve significantly each year and successfully become an AIME qualifier.

Counting and Probability

A topic ranging from the number of digits used to number the pages in a 100 page book, to the probability of rolling doubles on two dice. This topic is prevalent in middle and high school competitions, including Mathcounts and AMC, as well as being a part of high school Algebra 2/Trigonometry and Pre-Calculus courses. After taking the class students will have mastered and will be able to solve commonly found problems on these competitions.

Number Theory

A topic rarely covered in high school, from divisibility rules to prime numbers, this topic appears on Mathcounts and AMC problems quite often. Mastering this often helps with understanding more abstract math concepts in high school and college, such as in Calculus and beyond. This also will touch on several proof methods, such as proof by contradiction and induction, which are essential for proof-level mathematics competitions such as BAMO or USA(J)MO.

Algebra 1 不仅是传统数学学习的关键学科，也是数学竞赛的关键基础环节。上Kevin 的数学课，相信一定会激发您孩子对数学的学习兴趣，以及思路，思维。为孩子在初高中数学以及科学的学习的学习兴趣以及知识上奠定基础。

Kevin Lei 自2012年10月开始在春晖教育学院教课，得到了每位学生的好评。

一个9年级的高中生说：He’s the best teacher ever. Kevin Lei, Kevin Lei, he’s awesome, Kevin Lei. “

一位6年级的初中生说：This place is a good education facility. Especially Kevin Lei. He is totally 100% better than most (not all, so don’t be insulted of you are a teacher) other teachers! He’s awesome and is an excellent teacher.    

一位妈妈给Kevin说：My son is very interested in your class, and he came home saying how much he enjoyed your teaching.

无论是JAVA，Computer Science, 还是AIME，Counting & Probability, 还有Number Theory 等他教的每一门课，Kevin讲课时都驾轻就熟。教科书只是他的教学大纲，教的内容都在他脑子里，他可以把复杂枯燥的概念解释得非常清楚，课堂生动活泼。他甚至能调动起每一个学生争先恐后到台上演示自己的解题思路（他的课堂上没有害羞的学生）。

目前 Kevin 在9月前都在湾区休假。在他返校前，抓住时机，报名Kevin的Algebra 1 class。
