AMC10 & CIMC Intensive Bootcamp 12 Hours

Course Description

Why This Bootcamp Matters The AMC10 and CIMC are the gateway competitions for strong Gr.9–10 students aiming for elite STEM pathways. This Intensive Bootcamp is designed for students who need rapid, targeted preparation before the exam, offering high-yield techniques, essential problem-solving frameworks, and timed test strategies. In just 12 focused hours, students will strengthen core contest foundations and build the speed, accuracy, and confidence required to excel on competition day. 🎯 Course Goals By the end of the bootcamp, students will: • Master the core topics & problem types most frequently tested • Build a strong problem-solving mindset • Learn fast and accurate contest techniques • Gain familiarity with AMC10/CIMC exam format & traps • Develop strategic pacing and time-management • Build momentum toward AMC/AIME + senior contests in high school Course Modules (High-Yield Curriculum) Module 1 — Number Theory Essentials • Divisibility · Modular arithmetic · Exponents · Diophantine thinking Module 2 — Algebra & Functional Reasoning • Equations · Inequalities · Functions · Sequences & patterns Module 3 — Geometry & Coordinate Geometry • Angles · Polygons · Circles · Similarity · Transformations · Analytic geometry Module 4 — Combinatorics & Probability • Counting paths · Permutations/Combinations · Casework · Probability models Module 5 — Timed Drills + Mock Contest (CIMC or AMC10) • Simulated exam + full walkthrough + strategy refinement All modules focus on competition-level reasoning, not school-level math. Competition Pathway (Gr.9 → University Applications) A clear long-term roadmap: Gr.9–10: ➡ AMC8 (optional) → AMC10 + CIMC → Gauss/Cayley Gr.11: ➡ AMC12 + CSMC + Euclid → AIME for top scorers Gr.12: ➡ University-level math contests & STEM enrichment University Applications: Strong competition results help strengthen applications to: U of T Engineering · Waterloo Math/CS · McMaster Engineering · UBC Science · Western Ivey (quantitative profile) Who Is This Bootcamp For? Ideal for students who: • Are preparing for AMC10 or CIMC this cycle • Want a short-term, high-impact contest prep • Are strong at school math but lack competition experience • Need structured review + mock exams • Want to start their long-term competition journey • Are applying to competitive STEM programs in the future
