Math Competitions

From October through May students across grades 5 through to grade 12 had the opportunity to compete in many different math competitions. Some of the competitions are purely individual, and others have team components.

The American Mathematics Competitions (AMC)

Are a series of individual competitions that build problem-solving skills and mathematical knowledge in middle and high school students. We had 8 students in grades 11 & 12 write the AMC12, 25 students in grade 9 & 10 write the AMC10 and 23 students in grade 7 & 8 write the AMC8.

Barcelona MathCounts

Every year ASB hosts the Barcelona MathCounts competition for Middle School students against schools across Spain. We had over 70 competitors at this competition and 3 students placed in the top 10 overall with one earning the third place spot! We also won first place as a team! From this competition, the top students are selected to compete in the international MathCounts competition. And from 222 students worldwide, three of our students were in the top 25% of all competitors!
