PatternMath helps students prepare for AMC-style math competitions by learning the repeatable structures behind hard problems. Instead of memorizing isolated solutions, students learn how to recognize a pattern, choose the right move quickly, avoid common traps, and practice the idea under time pressure. HOW IT WORKS Pattern Library Browse compact pattern cards that show what to look for, why the move works, and the shortcut that collapses the problem. Skill Map Track mastery across your current contest level and see which domains still need work. Timed Practice Sessions Solve original AMC-style problems in short focused sessions, then review the explanation right after each answer. Case Studies Work through harder exam-tail style problems that combine multiple patterns into one challenge. THREE TRACKS AMC 8 Build fundamentals in arithmetic, counting, algebra, and introductory geometry. AMC 10 Strengthen algebra, number theory, geometry, and intermediate counting strategies. AMC 12 Practice more advanced structures including pre-calculus ideas, tougher algebra, and deeper multi-step reasoning. WHAT'S INSIDE - Pattern cards with recognition cues and solving moves - Skill-by-skill mastery tracking - Timed sessions with instant explanations - Smart dashboard with a suggested next drill - Case-study problems for harder end-of-test scenarios - Progress export stored under your control PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No analytics. Study progress stays on your device unless you choose to export it. Core learning features work offline. If you choose to unlock content or restore purchases, Apple handles that transaction.
