Students are presented with 15 - 20 problems with varying math topics. The problems progress in difficulty. Students are given a few minutes to think about each problem before it is discussed in detail. Students solve the problems through a question and answer approach as advanced mathematical concepts are introduced. Topics vary and may include:

• Advanced Algebra

• Geometry

• MATHCOUNTS

• AMC 8 & 10

• Counting & Probability

• Number Theory

Kids Inspire Kids goes beyond the classroom, preparing middle school students to problem solve with competition level problems. Topics cover problems from MATHCOUNTS, AMC 8 & 10 in a supportive, collaborative setting in Wilmette. Led by Aren Emrikian, a competitive mathlete and founder of the 2025-26 Chute Middle School MATHCOUNTS Club.
