art of problem solving contest collection

Contest Math 8 offers a full year of contest preparation to help students succeed at top math contests. It is the third level of our Contest Math series.

Live instructors build the fundamentals of geometry for veterans of competitions like MATHCOUNTS and AMC 8 and prepare them to face the challenges of national math contests like AMC 10 and AMC 12.

Our expert instructors use Art of Problem Solving curriculum to teach Contest Math 8: Intro to Geometry. AoPS curriculum is a much broader and deeper exploration of challenging mathematics than a typical math curriculum, preparing students for success at top universities and in competitive careers.

This course will require both the Introduction to Geometry and Art of Problem Solving, Volume 1 textbooks.

Contest Math 8 In this course, students learn the fundamentals of geometry, including the study of angles, triangle similarity and congruence, special quadrilaterals, polygons, the art of angle chasing, power of a point, three-dimensional geometry, transformations, analytic geometry, basic trigonometry, geometric proof, and more. Students are further challenged by contest problems that incorporate multiple concepts and skills, and sometimes require out-of-the-box thinking.

Our instructors hold classes virtually, in a small-sized (10-16 students) videoconferencing classroom.

There are about 2 to 3 hours of homework each week. There are two timed exams in each course — one at the midpoint of the course, and one at the end — as well as practice contests spread across the lessons.

The course runs for 36 weeks with one 120-minute lesson per week.

About the Art of Problem Solving Initiative

Founded in 2004, the Art of Problem Solving Initiative, Inc. was created by people who love math and love teaching to help students access the study of advanced mathematics.

The Initiative began by running the USA Mathematical Talent Search , a nationwide math contest sponsored by the National Security Agency which continues to run to this day. In each round, this contest gives students a full month to work on five challenging proof-based problems. Students then get individual feedback on their work, including comments on their mathematical reasoning and on their proof-writing skills. By taking away the usual time pressures seen in many math contests, students have the opportunity to go more deeply and to explore.

For many years, the Initiative also ran the Local Programs Initiative which provided fiscal sponsorship to math circles and clubs across the country.

Now, the main project of the Initiative is Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) , a project to help underserved students find a realistic pathway towards becoming scientists, mathematicians, engineers, and programmers. During the summer after 7th grade, students are invited to participate in a free three-week residential program on a college campus where they gain the academic and social/emotional preparation to succeed in future programs for advanced study. They then receive academic advising throughout 8th grade and high school to help them and their families find the best opportunities for their educations.

The Art of Problem Solving Initiative receives support from Art of Problem Solving (AoPS) , which develops resources for high-performing middle and high school students including the largest online community of avid math students in the English-speaking world. The AoPS online school has trained many winners of major national mathematics competitions, including several gold medalists at the International Math Olympiad, Davidson Fellows, and winners of the Intel and Siemens Talent Search competitions.

The Art of Problem Solving Initiative is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization. It continues to be led by expert mathematicians and educators to this day. Please consider joining our contributors by donating to support advanced math education.
