Advanced Math students in grades 6, 7 and 8 participated in the American Mathematics Competition on January 17-23.
There were two teams of sixth graders (51 students: 48 sixth grade as well as 3 fifth graders) and six teams of seventh graders (47 students) and eighth graders (74 students) enrolled in Algebra 1 and Geometry that participated in the competition.
“Our advanced math students challenge themselves via contests like the AMC 8, helping them to write their own unique stories as learners,” said Director of Curriculum/Gifted Coordinator Becky Quinn, Chagrin Falls Schools.
“The competition was very challenging as seen by the national average score of 10 correct out of 25 questions. However, these students showed grit and will be prepared for future competitions” said K-12 Math Coach Nick Leskiewicz, Chagrin Falls Schools.
