my first time posting here((:
okay.
so... this is about the Australian Mathematics Competition(AMC) 2008.
It will be held on 31 July, in school from 3.15pm to 4.45pm.
It is not compulsory but the school highly encourages you to take part. One of the criteria for selecting students into the Raffles Academy for Mathematics (i have no idea wads this) is based on your performance in AMC.
The AMC is a mathematics competition containing 25MCQ problems and 5 questions requiring a number answer that students can attempt in the time allowed.The problems are very easy at the start and become progressively more difficult until the end when they are challenging to the most gifted student(!!!). Unlike formal mathematics testing, many of the problems are set in situations to which students can relate, showing the relevance of mathematics to their everyday lives.
**(NEW)Questions 26 to 30 will now be worth 6,7,8,9 and 10 marks respectively. The total marks possible is 135.
Students of all standards will progress and find a point of challenge. All students will receive a certificate showing their level of achievement and cash and book prizes will be awarded to the top students.
Pls let me know if you want to take part...$10 each.
If you r in math society, no need to pay. But rmb to tell me if in math society.
