FCDS Middle Schoolers Ace the AMC 8
In November, 37 Middle School students competed in the American Mathematics Contest 8, which was online this year. 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.
