Summer Programs

There are many mathematics summer programs around the country. Many advanced students attend and enjoy them. Here are a couple of list of summer programs:

 

Contests for Coaches To Consider

American Mathematics Competitions (AMC)

Organized by the MAA, the AMC 10 and AMC 12 competitions are the first round of competitions that eventually culminate in selection for the USA team for the International Math Olympiad. They are appropriate for any high school students who are interested in problem solving. They are offered twice (about a week apart) each November. Students who do well on the AMC 10 or AMC 12 are invited to the AIME (American Invitational Math Exam). From these first two rounds, a small number of students are selected to participate in the USA Math Olympiad or USA Junior Math Olympiad, which is a proof-based competition.
