In January, twenty-four Oakwood middle school students competed in the American Mathematics Competition Level 8 (AMC 8), an international mathematics exam sponsored by the Mathematical Association of America. The questions covered a range of topics, such as counting and probability, estimation, proportional reasoning, elementary geometry, spatial visualization, and reading and interpreting graphs and tables. Kudos to all the participants, and special congratulations to the top finishers among Oakwood competitors: Ishan M. (1st place), Avi S. (2nd place), and Kenta I. and Brendan L. (3rd place).
