In January, our students participated in the AMC-8 contest. AMC-8 is a 25-question, 40-minute, multiple choice examination in middle school mathematics designed to promote the development and enhancement of problem-solving skills. It is one of the hardest contests for middle school students. Besides including many very challenging problems, its strict time constraint requires not just great analytical reasoning abilities, but also quick thinking and ability to solve hard problems without making mistakes.
The top 1% of participants make the Distinguished Honor Roll. Most of these students are in 8th or 7th grade. Making the Distinguished Honor Roll at a younger age is an extraordinary accomplishment and requires years of hard work. 17 Mr. Math students made Distinguished Honor Roll, including 4 sixth grader and 3 fifth graders. We congratulate our students (grade in parenthesis): Albert L (7), Ayaan K (7), Bella L (8), Derek X (7), Isaac C-O (7), Isaac S (6), James S (6), John X (7), Krish B (7), Leo S (8), Michael Z (5), Mohanesh R (5), Nicolas V (6), Owen H (7), Rohan S (5), Siyona A (7), and Viyan S (6)!
Our special congratulations to James S (6), Krish B (7), Michael Z (5), Mohanesh R (5), and Owen H (7) who achieved a perfect score!!!
The top 5% of participants make the Honor Roll. As with DHR, making the Honor Roll in 6th grade or before is indicative of exceptional talent and effort. 84 Mr. Math students made Honor Roll, including 19 sixth graders, 14 fifth graders, 8 fourth graders, and 5 third graders. Here is the list of our terrific students (grade in parenthesis): Aayush C (6), Adam L (6), Agastya V (6), Albert L (7), Alex M (6), Alexander B (7), Andy L (4), Andy W (7), Annabelle L (7), Arien K (3), Arthur J (8), Arthur Y (6), Ash L (4), Avi A (4), Ayaan K (7), Azim J (7), Beatrice P (4), Bella L (8), Caden C (7), Calvin D (5), Clifford M (8), Conrad B (4), Daochen L (5), Derek X (7), Drake R (8), Dylan F (8), Eric Z (7), Ethan R (4), Evan T (5), Grant F (4), Haruto Y (5), Howard L (3), Hantian L (3), Isaac C-O (7), Isaac S (6), James S (6), John X (7), Jonathan Y (6), Julian S (6), Kai D (7), Katherine Y (7), Katie W (7), Kavin V (8), Khang N (7), Krish B (7), Krystian T (5), Kyle Z (3), Leo R (8), Leo S (8), Leonard Z (5), Lucas X (5), Luke Z (6), Maxwell S (7), Michael J (6), Michael Z (5), Milo F-G (6), Min-Yi C (7), Mohanesh R (5), Nate F (6), Nathan Y (3), Nathaniel Z (6), Neale W (7), Nicholas S (8), Nicolas V (6), Owen H (7), Paris C (6), Rohan S (5), Ryan S (5), Ryan W (4), Serge H (8), Shalin P (7), Shiven K (8), Shrihan A (8), Silu C (6), Siyona A (7), Srinath S (5), Steven J (7), Suhas K (5), Tara P (7), Viyan S (6), Warren C (7), Will M (6), Zimo L (7), and Ziqi Z (5)!
Since the contest targets 8th graders, it is exceptionally difficult for younger students. AMC-8 publishes a special Achievement Roll for all students in Grades 6 or below who score 15 or more points. 109 of 135 (81%) of Mr. Math students in grade 6 or younger who participated in AMC 8 made the Achievement Roll this year, including 17 fourth graders, 6 third graders, and 1 second grader. Here is the list of our great students (grade in parenthesis): Aadi H (5), Aarya D (6), Aayush C (6), Abigail L (6), Abram B-M (5), Adam L (6), Adrian L (2), Agastya V (6), Aiden H (4), Alba G (6), Alex L (6), Alex M (6), Andy L (4), Anna J (4), Aran G (6), Arien K (3), Arjun P (6), Arthur Y (6), Ash L (4), Athena P (4), Avi A (4), Beatrice P (4), Brady Y (5), Calvin D (5), Chloe X (5), Conrad B (4), Daochen L (5), Declan M (6), Devin L (5), Ethan H (6), Ethan P (6), Ethan R (4), Evan K (4), Evan T (5), George N (4), Grant F (4), Gregory S (5), Haruto Y (5), Henry T (4), Holden S (5), Howard L (3), Hantian L (3), Ian H (6), Ira P (4), Isaac L (5), Isaac S (6), Isabella A (5), Isabelle W (5), Jackson P (5), Jackson R (6), James L-C (6), James S (6), Jasey C (5), Jonah A (5), Jonathan R (5), Jordan K (5), Jonathan Y (6), Julia L (3), Julian S (6), Junhee Y (6), Kai R (5), Krystian T (5), Kyle Z (3), Lara F (6), Leo C (6), Leonard Z (5), Lucas X (5), Luke L (6), Luke Z (6), Mark M (5), Matthew T (6), Mehmet K (5), Micah X (4), Michael J (6), Michael Z (5), Milo F-G (6), Mohanesh R (5), Moses L (6), Nate F (6), Nathan H (6), Nathan Y (3), Nathaniel Z (6), Nicolas V (6), Nisha S (5), Nishil M (6), Nivedita A (5), Nolan Y (6), Nova P (4), Paris C (6), Parth K (6), Peter Y (5), Rohan S (5), Ryan S (5), Ryan W (4), Saarang A (6), Sam V (5), Silu C (6), Simran A (6), Sree M (6), Srinath S (5), Suhas K (5), Tiere A (5), Velika V (6), Vihaan T (6), Viraj B (6), Vinyan S (6), Will M (6), Yuntao C (5), Zachary C (5), and Ziqi Z (5)!!
A specific note about our Deep Divers program, which focuses on helping identify and fill the gaps in student knowledge. Students in the Deep Divers program averaged 20.5 and had an average score improvement from the last year of 3.3. Nearly 80% made Honor Roll and 20% made Distinguished Honor Roll.
Congratulations to all our amazing students! We are soooooo proud of them!!!
