American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 8 ) Preparation
http://www.mymathcounts.com/Copied-2014--American-Mathematics-Contest-8--AMC-8--Training2.phpThe American Mathematics Competitions 8 is a 25-question multiple-choice contest for students in the sixth through eighth grade. Accelerated fourth and fifth graders can also take part. The AMC 8 is administered in schools in November. The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC) publishes the Achievement Roll list recognizing students in 6th grade and below who scored 15 or above, and the Honor Roll list recognizing students who score in the top 5%, and the Distinguished Honor Roll list recognizing students who score in the top 1%.
This book can be used by 5th to 8th grade students preparing for AMC 8. Each chapter consists of (1) basic skill and knowledge section with plenty of examples, (2) about 30 exercise problems, and (3) detailed solutions to all problems.
We would like to thank the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 8 and 10) for their mathematical ideas. Many problems (marked by ☆) in this book are inspired from these tests. We only cited very few problems directly from these tests for the purpose of comparison with our own solutions.
We wish to thank the following reviewers for their invaluable solutions, insightful comments, and suggestions for improvements to this book:
Alex Cheng (UT), Jin Cheng (CA), Felix Cui (NE), Albert Hao (CA), Sameer Khan (VA), Kathy Liu (VA), Priyo Majumdar (LA), Aadith Menon, Kalyanasundaram Seshadri (CA), Huili Shao (MA), Stephan Xie (TX), Cindy Ye (AR), Samuel Yoon (VA) and Sophia Zhang (CO).
