RePORT Of THe DIReCTORI. InTRODuCTIOnI am pleased to announce that over 150,000 students from more than 2,250 schools participated in the 2009 AMC 8 contest. Many dedicated mathematics teachers provided an opportunity for students to participate in this national exam, and the Committee created an exam which was both exciting and challenging. A hearty thanks to all of you for continuing to recognize the fact that the AMC 8 plays a complementary role in support of the junior high/middle school mathematics curriculum. This summary includes a listing of the results and awards associated with the 25th annual AMC 8, which was held on Tuesday, November 17, 2009. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE 2010 AMC 8 WILL BE HELD ON TUESDAy, NOVEMBER 16, 2010. From the responses received from many of the contest managers, it is evident that the examination was once again well received by the students and teachers. A comparison of the 2009 statistics shows that this years contest was comparable to the 2008. A total of 163 perfect scores were recorded (334 in 2008) while the national average moved to 10.28 (11.45 in 2008). The AMC 8 Committee is in its final stage of preparation of the 2010 exam and I expect it to be similar to the 2009 edition. A four-year statistical comparison of results is given in Section III. We sincerely hope that your school administrators will continue to support your future requests for funds to enable your students to participate in this academic activity which is consistent with the standards set by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. On behalf of the AMC 8 committee, I express my appreciation to all of the school contest managers and their associated teachers, school counselors and administrators for providing an opportunity for their students to participate in the 2009 AMC 8. I particularly would like to express my gratitude to those teachers who personally paid the fees associated with the contest. Their dedication to the profession is certainly noteworthy and beyond the call of duty.

There were a total of 3,273 school winners at 2,372 schools, and the following number of certificates were sent to schools: Gold 9,073, Silver- 11,882, Bronze- 14,465. While the AMC 8 is primarily intramural, the national results make some comparison at that level viable, but the examination, which has no established norms, is comparable to neither classroom nor placement tests. The AMC 8 School Winner Plaque is a beautiful 9x12 plaque with space for 12 engraved name plates with the names of your year-by-year school winners. Teachers who gave the AMC 8 (then known as the AJHSME) in the 1980s and 1990s will remember the AMC provided an initial plaque and a school winner plate each year to schools participating in the AMC 8. Comments from teachers told us you missed having this recognition program for your math scholars. In your AMC 8 report from December 2009 you will find the web4

address that will allow you to order directly from our supplier. The AMC pays for the initial plaque and engraved name plate in the first year and the annual engraved plates in subsequent years.This year we are presenting 154 Top Student Plaque awards. This plaque is awarded to the top scoring student in each state, all of the U.S. Territories, and Canada. This student award program that began in 1991 will continue to be presented on an annual basis. you will note, this Summary contains photos of some of last years awardees.

Participation in the AMC 8 extends beyond the USA. Registrations were received from APO/FPO Schools (Junior High or Middle Schools associated with U.S. military bases abroad), American schools associated with U.S. Embassies, U.S. Territories (Guam, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands), and foreign schools (including a group of from Taiwan, Canada, Singapore and other international schools), for a total of 24,556 students. Recognition is hereby given to those teachers abroad who have provided an opportunity for their students to participate in the AMC 8. A complete list of participating schools from foreign countries and U.S. territories is found in this summary. We are grateful to the Department of Defense for providing the financial support which enabled the students in its dependent schools to participate in the AMC 8. The date of the 2010 AMC 8 is Tuesday, November 16th. The exam will again be a 40 minute, twenty-five question, multiple-choice contest. The scoring procedure will be the same as in 2009: one point will be given for each correct answer. Registration materials will be mailed to schools during the months of May, September, and October. If you wish to register now, you may do so online at www.math.unl.edu/~amc/registration/. Or, for your convenience, a 2010 Registration Form has been included on page 171. Alternately, you can find a copy of the registration form online at amc.maa.org. We hope that your school will participate again in the 2010 AMC 8. Completion of your registration as early as possible is always appreciated. Contest materials will be mailed in October and early November, so there is ample time for planning and completion of pre-contest activities. We would be most grateful if you would encourage neighboring schools to participate in the AMC 8. The National Association of Secondary School Principals will continue to place the AMC 8 on its advisory list of contests and activities for 2010-2011.

MessaGe fROM THe aMC 8 CHaIRDear Teachers and Parents, Thank you for sharing the 2009 AMC 8 Contest with your children. Hopefully, this experience will be an opportunity into the world of mathematical excellence and fun. More than thirty mathematics teachers and professors across the nation have worked for over a year to create the 40-minute contest filled with a 25-item mix of basic, puzzling, challenging, and even humorous problems. Activities like the AMC 8 contest allow and encourage students to excel in the mathematical arena. This contest is a rewarding experience where mathematical curiosity and skill are stimulated. The series of contests sponsored by the American Mathematics Competitions is designed to inspire an interest in mathematics that will lead to academic success, scholarship, and hopefully a rewarding career. Competence in mathematics and mathematical understanding leads one professionally and personally to a successful and an enriched life. Of course, one of the best parts of the contest occurs immediately after your children have taken the test. The members of the AMC 8 committee hope that you use this opportunity to talk about mathematics with your children. Use the alternate solutions to elicit creative approaches to the problems. Perhaps some new mathematical concepts can be explained to the younger middle school students who will soon be eighth graders. Talk with your children about which problems were easier or harder and why. Finally, thank you for all you do on a daily basis to help your children reach their potential as better mathematics students. you are one of our nations greatest resources for insuring all children a rich and rewarding future by promoting knowledge and understanding. Thank you,

Dr. Margie Raub Hunt, AMC 8 Chair 2169 Madero Drive The Villages, Florida 32159-9412 Margie314159@aol.com8

MessaGe fROM THe CaMC CHaIRDuring the past year I served as Chair of the Mathematical Association of Americas Committee on the American Mathematics Competitions (CAMC). During my service in this position, I have had many occasions to reflect on the vast number of people who help to maintain these competitions as unique experiences that students enjoy. If you are reading this, you have probably contributed to the success of the 25th annual AMC 8 Contest. you may be a student who participated in the contest. Perhaps you are a teacher who administered the contest or a State Contest Director who encouraged all the schools in your state to register for it. you might be a member of the AMC 8 Contest Committee or the AMC Advisory Panel, and in that role you might have posed problems for the contest or assisted in the editing at various stages of its construction. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to each of you. Thanks are also due to AMC Director Steve Dunbar and his capable and hard-working staff at the AMC office for the registration of contestants, the production, distribution and scoring of the contests, and the communication of the results. Special thanks go to AMC 8 Committee Chair Margie Raub Hunt. The twofold mission of the CAMC is to promote interest in mathematics among K-12 students and to identify mathematically talented students through a series of mathematical exams. Although both parts of the mission are relevant to the AMC 8, it is primarily the first part that guides our thinking as we construct the contest. One purpose of the AMC 8 is to expose middle school students to new mathematical ideas, both by incorporating a broad sample of the topics accessible to them and by illustrating unusual methods of solution. A second, arguably more important, purpose is to generate excitement about mathematics by providing a positive mathematical experience. The AMC Philosophy and Purpose Statement points out that middle school students are at a point where attitudes toward school and learning, and perceptions of themselves as learners are solidified. The success of the contest can be measured more reliably by the volume of the post-contest discussion among the contestants than by the average score. We are always seeking new ideas to help us better carry out our mission. The mathematics teachers in the schools are among our most valuable sources of ideas. We welcome any thoughts you have that will help us improve the AMC 8, make the exam better fit your needs, and help us reach more students. We also have a critical need for middle school teachers on the AMC Advisory Panel. If you are interested in contributing or editing problems for our contests, please contact me at the address below. you can also visit us every year at the American Mathematics Competitions booth at the NCTM meeting.

slIffe awaRDs fOR DIsTInGuIsHeD MaTHeMaTICs TeaCHInG In THe MIDDle sCHOOlThe Edyth May Sliffe Awards for Distinguished Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School were determined following the analysis of the 2009 AMC 8. The winners are listed on the next few pages along with the schools and states they represent. These awards are the result of a bequest made to the Mathematical Association of America (MAA) by Edyth May Sliffe, a retired high school teacher of mathematics at Emeryville, California. She made this bequest to give awards to high school mathematics teachers whose teams perform well on the AHSME (now known as AMC 8). Edyth Sliffe wanted to do this because her students had always done very well on the AHSME (now known as AMC 8) and received various honors, but she as a teacher had never received any recognition. She had always felt that such teachers should receive some awards. In order to recognize junior high and middle school teachers, as well as high school teachers, the MAA Sliffe Award Committee in 1994 approved the establishment of a new set of awards that begun in 1995. Five awards are given in each of the eleven regions associated with the AMC 8 to teachers of grade 8 or below. The selection of the award winners is determined by the following procedure: The ranking of a school in a given year for the purposes of this Award is made on the basis of the sum of the three top student scores at the school. A list is prepared of those schools who ranked within the top one third of the schools within the region. For all those appearing in the lists for each of the past three years, the sum of the rankings for each of the schools for each of the last three years is calculated for each region. For example, for the awards given following the 2009 AMC 8, the rankings of the schools in 2007, 2008, and 2009 were calculated for each region. The mathematics teacher whose name was submitted from the eligible five top-ranking schools is declared the Edyth May Sliffe Award recipient for that region. A teacher can only win the award once. The award-winning teachers receive a certificate, a $100 cash prize, a one-year membership in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, including a subscription to Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, and a Sliffe Award pin. This Award serves as an excellent illustration of how a single person, in this case Edyth May Sliffe, can have a substantial positive influence nationwide by taking a decisive action to further a cause he or she strongly believes in.

aMC 10 and aMC 12The AMC 8 is the first in a series of six contests that culminates in the United States of America Mathematical Olympiad (USAMO), the Junior Mathematical Olympiad (USAJMO) and the International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO). The second contest in this series is the AMC 10, which began in 2000. Many schools had requested a mid level test, one that would target a student between the former AJHSME and the former AHSME (which was aimed at high school level, generally 11th and 12th graders). Thus we restructured the AHSME and came up with two new contests and names. The AMC 10 is designed for students who have not had, for example, Trigonometry and Logarithms but who have completed a formal course in Geometry. It is a 25 question, 75-minute examination. The third contest is the AMC 12. This examination was the first and in 2011 will have been administered for 62 consecutive years. The AMC 12 covers high school mathematics excluding calculus. It is a 25 question, 75-minute examination. The purpose of these two contests is to spur interest in mathematics and to develop talent through the excitement of friendly competition at problem solving in a timed format. In order to challenge students of all grade levels and with varying talents, the problems range from easy to extremely difficult. These tests, although directed at high school students (grades 9-12), are also recommended for students at lower grade levels who possess unusual mathematical ability. Consequently, all schools that participated in the AMC 8 were sent a 2010 AMC 10/12 Invitation Brochure. Schools will have a choice of dates because the AMC 10/12 Contest A is scheduled for Tuesday, February 8, 2011, and the AMC 10/12 Contest B is scheduled for Wednesday, February 23, 2011. Interested schools may elect to take both Contest A and B. Students should look at copies of prior exams in order to set reasonable goals for themselves. The ordering procedure can be found on the AMC website amc.maa.org.
