American Mathematics Contest
Updated at May 01, 2008 09:33
Crossroads College Prep participated in the national math contest organized by the Mathematics Association of America. The American Mathematics Contest for 8th grade, more commonly referred to as the AMC8, is one of the largest math contests helping to identify budding mathematicians. Eventually, the AMC tests help create our national team for the International Mathematics Olympiad. In the AMC8, students take a timed test and receive awards based on their performance in their schools, across the state, and across the country.
The following students received intramural awards in 7th grade:
Gold Place: Harry Shockley
Silver Place: Chip Bloch and Lillian Stephen
Bronze Place: Noah Dromgoole
The following students received intramural awards in the 8th grade:
Gold Place: Jeremy Silver, Nell Briggs, and Andrea Larson
Silver Place: Brendan Wood, Lindsey Emery, and Alana Slavin
Bronze Place: Alisa Berg, Brittany Gordon, and Terry Watkins
The school wide winner, missing only two questions on the test and qualifying for the National Honor Roll of Distinction, was Harry Seo.
Congratulations to all our students and good luck next year.
