AMC 8 (American Mathematics Competitions 8)
This worldwide contest can lead to other more selective math contests, even all the way to the USA team sent to the International Mathematical Olympiad. The real rewards come from challenging each student with mathematics that is new, different, and “outside of the box.” The problems on the contest are difficult, but designed to be within the reach of students.
