AoPS Holidays

There are no classes May 24 ‐ 26, July 4 ‐ 6, August 29 ‐ September 1, October 31, November 24 ‐ November 30, and December 20, 2025 ‐ January 2, 2026.

Who Should Take?

Students just getting started with middle-school math contests should consider our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Basics course. Students with more consistent success in these contests (in particular, students who score 15+ on the AMC 8 or 25+ on Chapter-level MATHCOUNTS competitions) should consider our MATHCOUNTS/AMC 8 Advanced course. See our MATHCOUNTS guide for a comparison between the Basics and Advanced courses.

Students who have not completed a pre-algebra class (or equivalent training through prior preparation for MATHCOUNTS) should start with our Introduction series of classes rather than our MATHCOUNTS class. Please visit our Course Recommendations page to determine which class is best for you.

I LOVED this class. It was better than any math class I had ever been to. The instructor was a great teacher and I admire her patience. The problems were challenging and I learned a lot. I can see lots of improvement within myself. Thank you, AoPS!
