As the majority of students get high scores in SAT, TOEFL and other standardized examinations, some other subject competitions which can reflect students' unique advantages have become a stepping stone to enter world famous schools. AMC is one of the most prominent competitions.
With the permission of the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) and the British Award Scheme Development and Accreditation Network (ASDAN), the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) has been introduced into Tianjin Grace International School. On September 26th, Grace's students seriously challenged this international top mathematics competition!
Inside Grace, the offline examination of AMC is in order.
Students must strictly obey the epidemic prevention and examination discipline. Before entering examination room, students should cooperate with the invigilators to test their body temperature. After admission, they should follow invigilators' arrangement and be quiet when answering examination papers.
Why to attend the AMC ?
AMC is a mathematics competition in which global students participate most in the world. Through AMC competition test, many excellent mathematics talents can be picked out. To a certain extent, it is also an examination for world famous schools to select mathematics talents. The experience of winning the AMC competition award also gives students superiority to apply for G5 and other famous schools.
Stuart Schmill, the admissions officer at MIT, once said that more activities do not mean the better. The quality is more important than the quantity. It is better to take part in only one activity with high recognition than to participate 10 extracurricular activities with no prominent emphasis. The competition in mathematics is one of the most popular activities.
On the other hand, AMC, in some degree, deepens the students' understanding of the basic knowledge of mathematics, cultivates their mathematical research literacy, and produces a long-term impact on students' college study and life in the future.
To the end
As an officially authorized school of AMC, Grace hopes to further stimulate students' interest in mathematics and motivation of accepting challenges through this competition. Also through the experience, students' comprehensive ability of English and mathematics can be cultivated and their logical thinking ability can be strengthened. Finally, hope they can experience the mystery and fun of mathematics.
随着大多数学生SAT、托福等标化考试成绩普遍获得高分，一些能体现学生独特学科优势的竞赛成为进入世界名校的敲门砖，AMC则是其中比较突出的一个。
经澳大利亚数学协会（AMT）与英国素质教育发展认证中心（ASDAN）的许可，澳大利亚数学竞赛（AMC）已入驻天津格瑞思学校，9月26日，格瑞思学子正式向这场国际顶尖数学赛事发起挑战！
参赛学生需严格遵守防疫和考试纪律，积极配合监考老师进行测试体温后进入考场，入场后安静答题，听从监考老师安排。
为什么要参加AMC考试？
AMC是全球学生参与最多的一个数学竞赛，通过AMC竞赛测试，可以选拔出很多优秀的数学人才，在一定程度上，这也是为世界名校选拔数学人才的一个考试。AMC竞赛获奖经历还是同学们申请G5等名校含金量极高的砝码。
麻省理工的招生官Stuart Schmill曾说过，活动并非越多越好，质量重于数量。重点不突出的10个课外活动，不如只参加一个有含金量的活动。而数学方面的竞赛则是备受青睐的一种。
从另一方面来说，AMC在一定程度上加深了同学们对数学基础知识的理解，培养了大家的数学研究素养，对大家在以后的大学学习生活具有长远的影响。
写在最后
作为AMC官方授权考点学校，格瑞思希望通过此次竞赛更进一步激发同学们对数学的兴趣与学习挑战的动力，同步培养学生英语和数学综合能力，强化逻辑思维能力，感受体验数学的奥秘和乐趣。
