On Friday, January 30, 57 middle school students participated in the American Mathematics Competition’s AMC8, an international math competition on an eighth grade level. Students from around the world took part in the online, 25-question, 40-minute-long competition. The organization encourages students to develop and enhance their problem-solving skills, and the competition challenges both mathematical reasoning and problem-solving efficiency.
We are especially grateful for the flexibility and positive spirit of our students, who took the rescheduling pivot in stride after the snowstorm initially put our participation in question. Well done, mathematicians! We are proud of your perseverance and focus!
– Brittany Ryan, sixth grade math teacher
