Competitions

Each year, MathCEP hosts the AMC 8 and AMC 10/12 for young mathematicians in the local community to give rise to the next generation of problem-solvers.

AMC 10/12

From the Mathematical Association of America:

The AMC 10 and AMC 12 are both 25-question, 75-minute, multiple-choice examinations in high school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills.
The AMC 10 is for students in 10th grade and below and covers the high school curriculum up to 10th grade. Students in grade 10 or below and under 17.5 years of age on the day of the contest can take the AMC 10. The AMC 12 covers the entire high school curriculum, including trigonometry, advanced algebra, and advanced geometry, but excluding calculus. Students in grade 12 or below and under 19.5 years of age on the day of the contest can take the AMC 12.

Registration information will be sent out in September/October. More information on the AMC 10/12 can be found here.

AMC 8

From the Mathematical Association of America:

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.

MathCEP will host the AMC 8 in-person in January 2024. You can express your interest in registering for the competition by filling out this Google Form. Registration information will be sent out in November/December. More information on the AMC 8 can be found here.
