KVMC AMC Prep Program: 6th-8th Grade Students
Every January the Mathematical Association of America offers the American Mathematics Competition 8.This is a “25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills.” The Kittitas Valley Math Circle is planning to host this competition in Ellensburg the week of January 18, 2023. To encourage interested students, we plan to offer weekly evening “practice & play sessions” at CWU to any middle-school student interested in math enrichment or problem-solving.

Fall 2022 AMC 8 Prep with the Kittitas Valley Math Circle is a face-to-face program meeting weekly on Mondays (5:00-6:00pm) at the Samuelson Building on Central Washington's campus. Google Map to the building. Note, parking on campus is free after 4:30 pm and we would advise you to park in the O-5 lot, across the street from the Science Building (at the intersection of Wildcat Way and 14th Ave). If you are in a handicapped marked vehicle you can park in the marked spots close to Samuelson.
