From: <evaszillerymmsets@gwi.net> Date: Mon, Jan 7, 2013 at 10:46 AM Subject: Participation in AMC 8 2012 - Honor Roll and Distinguished Honor Roll To: RHasson@msad51.org Dear Superintendent Hasson, Please find below the Distinguished Honor Roll, the Honor Roll and the Achievement Roll of the American Mathematics Competition 8, 2012. In this year Maine ranked 8th nationwide in participation and the students on the lists below are the Maine winners. I'd like to ask you, as well as the Superintendent of every student on the list to post these result on the website of your school district. The goal of the Nationwide American Mathematics Competition is to secure America’s global competitiveness by inspiring excellence, confidence and superb problem solving skills in our students. President Barack Obama and former Presidents George W. Bush, William J.Clinton, George H.W. Bush and Ronald W. Reagan have all recognized our winners and the National Association of High School Principals gave the Gold Seal to the American Mathematics Competitions. Thank you very much, Eva Szillery PLEASE POST THE FOLLOWING MATERIAL ON THE WEBSITE OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT Salute to Maine students for their participation in AMC 8/ 2012 Maine students of age 8 to 14 are entitled to congratulations for their outstanding attendance in the American Mathematics Competitions in November of 2012 (referred as AMC 8, 2012). Maine ranked eighth in participation in the competition nationwide. The students are taught since years to distinguish between enjoyable and challenging problem solving as opposed to mathematics learning and instruction of passing procedural tests. This created the kind of momentum that clearly bolstered the AMC 8 Maine 2012 results. Andrew Gleason said, that in essence, math contests are like spelling bees. The spelling bees for the math lovers: They are fun and they can stimulate interest in mathematics, but just because you ranked high or low on a contest does not mean you will necessarily be a great or terrible mathematician or writer. We share this opinion. We want to give this message early to the participants. And now, without more comments, here are the results (as shown on the MAA statistics site (http://amc- reg.maa.org/Reports/GeneralReports.aspx).
