The Department of Mathematical Sciences will host our Thirteenth Annual AMC8 Middle School Math Day on Saturday, January 20, 2024. This year, our program will return to an In-Person format. There will be a limit of 125 participants with a parent or teacher. Please note that is will be a computerized version of the AMC8, so emails are needed for all attendees. Students will be taken to a computer lab for the AMC8 contest.
The program will begin with the AMC-8 Competition , a contest sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. Students in grades 6, 7 and 8 were encouraged to participate in the AMC-8. High scoring students from last year are encouraged to participate in the AMC 10 Contest in November 2023.
After lunch, our Math Day fun will continue where all students will participate in a team contest, led by our very own Dr. Tomas Schonbek.
