Lammersville Unified Families:

Mountain House High School's Math Club will be hosting the AMC 8 Competition this year at the high school. Students who are interested in participating need to fill out the interest form HERE  https://tinyurl.com/amc8-lusd. If parents are filling out the form, you must be logged in to your student's account to access the form.

The competition date has not yet been selected as we need to determine how many students are interested  in participating in the AMC 8 math competition this school year.  Here are some specifics about this year's AMC 8 competition:

  • The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development of problem-solving skills. The AMC 8 provides an opportunity for 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.
  • The material covered on the AMC 8 includes topics from a typical middle school mathematics curriculum. Possible topics include but are not limited to: counting and probability, estimation, proportional reasoning, elementary geometry including the Pythagorean Theorem, spatial visualization, everyday applications, and reading and interpreting graphs and tables. In addition some of the later questions may involve linear or quadratic functions and equations, coordinate geometry, and other topics traditionally covered in a beginning algebra course. 
  • The competition will be offered on 1 day sometime between January 17th and January 23rd
  • This is a fundraiser for the MHHS Math club so there is a cost to participate in the competition to cover the costs of administering the test and to generate funds for the club.  The cost of the test is anticipated to be approximately $25.
  • Practice problems for the AMC 8 can be found HERE
