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.
This app contains all problems and solutions of the American Junior High School Mathematics Examination (AJHSME) from 1985 to 1998. Furthermore, it contains all problems and solutions of the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 8 for students grades 8 and under) from 1999 up to today.
The problems and solutions are presented in chronological order, each year contains 25 problems and their solutions on separate pages. The easy to understand and intuitive user interface lets you practice your math skills and prepare yourself for future exams of this kind.
