Math Competitions
Mathematical Association of America Competitions
The Mathematical Association of America’s American Mathematics Competitions (MAA AMC) are a series of examinations and curriculum materials that build problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge in middle and high school students. These competitions are intended to be fun and friendly, not high-stakes college entrance exams. We are very happy that we can make the competitions available to students who wouldn't otherwise be able to participate, and we hope everyone enjoys it and learns from it.

The AMC 8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple-choice examination in middle school mathematics.
