AMC8: A Global Arena for Mathematical Elites

The American Mathematics Competition 8 (AMC8), organized by the Mathematical Association of America (MAA), is an international math competition for 8th-grade students and below. It is one of the most influential math competitions worldwide. The competition not only tests students’ mathematical knowledge but also focuses on developing their logical thinking, problem-solving skills, and innovative thinking. Every year, hundreds of thousands of students from around the world compete in this highly competitive event.

Montessori Education Philosophy: Fostering Lifelong Learners

1. From “Hands-on” to “Minds-on”: Math Can Be Fun

In MSB’s classrooms, math is not just about dry formulas and calculations. It comes to life through a variety of hands-on tools and activities that allow children to physically touch, observe, and experience mathematical concepts.

2. Respecting Each Child’s Pace: Making Learning an Internal Motivation

We understand that each child has their own learning pace and interests. At MSB, students explore the world of mathematics at their own rhythm. From simple counting to complex geometry problems, every step is a result of their personal choice.

3. Cross-Disciplinary Integration: Cultivating Comprehensive Abilities

MSB values the connections between subjects. The integration of math with science, art, and language enables children to apply multi-disciplinary knowledge when solving real-world problems.
