The Department of Mathematical Sciences will host our 16th Annual AMC8 Middle School Math Day on Saturday, January 23, 2027. This year, there will be a limit of 100 participants with a parent or teacher. Please note that may be paper-and-pencil version or a computerized version of the AMC8, but emails are needed for all attendees. Students may be taken to a computer lab for the AMC8 contest.
PLEASE NOTE: STUDENTS MAY ONLY TAKE THE AMC8 ONCE. IF A STUDENT TAKES THE CONTEST AT HIS/HER SCHOOL, THEY MAY NOT TAKE IT AGAIN AT ANY OTHER SITE. THE CONTEST HAS A ONE-WEEK WINDOW FOR ADMINISTRATION, BUT DOES NOT ALLOW FOR MULTIPLE PARTICIPATIONS. STUDENTS TAKING THE AMC8 MORE THAN ONCE WILL BE DISQUALIFIED.
New this year: There is a $25 registration fee per individual participant. This helps off-set the costs of our program expenses and lunch. For individuals coming, a parent must remain onsite throughout the day. For students coming with their schools, a teacher and/or chaperone should remain onsite for the duration of our program. Lunch is still included for all attending.
Parents, if you or your company would like to donate to our program, please click here and select "FAU Math Days" in the "Designation" drop down to help us. Any amount will be greatly appreciated. Once we are able to find sponsorships, future programs will be made available at a lower or no-cost to participants again.
The program will begin with an introducation, a Mathematical Talk for all, and the AMC-8 Competition , a contest sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America.
Lunch and our Team Contest, led by Dr. Veronika Kuchta.
High scoring students will be encouraged to participate in the AMC 10 Contest in November 2027.
