The AMC 8 provides an opportunity for elementary and middle school students to develop positive attitudes towards analytical thinking and mathematics that can assist in future careers. Students apply classroom skills to unique problem-solving challenges in a low-stress and friendly environment.
Why is AMC 8 important?
The AMC 8 experience provides an opportunity for students to develop an interest and passion toward math and problem-solving. A strong performance in the AMC 8 and even the more advanced AMC 10/12 competitions can give students a competitive edge for both private school and college applications.
