美國數學競賽(AMC)

是什么?

AMC是American Mathematics Competition美國數學競賽的縮寫，由美國數學協會（Mathematics Association of America）于1950年成立。

AMC不但是美國頂尖數學人才的人才庫，麻省理工學院、斯坦福大學、卡內基梅隆大學等多所名校的申請頁面上都要求學生填寫自己的AMC競賽成績。AMC還扮演為美國培養世界數學奧林匹克（IMO）選手的重大責任，也是美國唯一一個用來選拔IMO國家隊的競賽體系。

在AMC備戰中，老師和同學都給予了我很大幫助。IB數學平時的探索性課堂培養我們的思維能力，學校開的專門的數學競賽課給了我們針對性的訓練，而課后同學們相互探討交流題目、相互學習，同樣也對數學學習和競賽準備有大益處。

我認為AMC這項競賽與我現在所學的數學的差別還是比較大的，在我看來AMC似乎更注重在數學中的一些技巧，而我當下所學的IB數學則更注重于理解。

在準備的過程中難免會遇到一些自己無法解決的題目，這時候我就會首先向同學求助，我認為這是一個很好的方式，因為在與同學討論的過程中很容易會產生新的解題方法。

同時，我也要感謝老師在cca時間為我們開設的培訓課，為我們講解題目，解答疑惑。

我認為ib的數學學習與我先前所認知的數學有一定的差異，他更加講究邏輯思維與步驟性，這對于個人邏輯思維的提升非常有幫助。這次參加AMC的考試，整張試卷給我的感覺是非常趕，并且試卷的難度層層分級，需要參賽的選手根據自己的能力去劃自己的答題時間。在進行考試練習的過程中，我們都會遇到難以解答的問題，我會在課余時間和競賽課找到老師進行答疑，而同學之間也會約時間進行解題心得的交流。希望以后能有更多對數學有興趣的同學參與到這一競賽當中來，并且一直懷抱著對于數學的熱忱。

英國數學奧林匹克競賽

（BMO）是什么？

British Mathematical Olympiad（BMO）英國數學奧林匹克競賽由成立于1996年的United Kingdom Mathematics Trust（UKMT）英國數學基金會組織的旗下針對高年級中學生難度最大的競賽。主要側重于考察學生應用數學基本概念到非一般題目的能力。

本土同學可以通過BMO角逐英國國際數學奧林匹克國家代表隊的席位。因此，它作為一門含金量極高的數學競賽，幾乎是牛劍申請的標配競賽。對于想要沖刺牛劍G5的同學來說，在BMO競賽中獲獎既是數學實力的直接體現也是對數學熱情的最佳證明。

BMO全球榮譽獎獲得者

這是我第一次參加BMO競賽，但是在讀ib之前我就已經知道這個競賽了。作為英國最高級別的數學競賽，含金量很高，它采用全部都為解答題的形式，考查了學生解題完整的思路。第一次考試差一分晉級，對于我自己來說這是非常遺憾的。但是也有了很大收獲，希望明年能夠繼續努力晉級BMO2并獲得一定獎項。

BMO全球優秀獎獲得者

這次競賽整體來說難度偏大，題目很少但是單題難度很高，需要很多的時間去思考。但是學校老師在我備考BMO時給了很大的幫助。如開設專門的競賽班等。

對于學習數學，我認為最重要的不是去學習很多的新知識點，而是通過刷題等方式去鞏固已經學過了的知識點，因為即使學了新知識，不能熟練的去運用到題目中的話，也是沒有用的。

衷 心 祝 賀

向以上獲獎的同學表示衷心的祝賀！今天的成績是付出后的回報，今天的榮譽更是學習的動力。希望更多的同學能積極參加競賽中來，銳意進取，更創佳績！

Recently, the results of various international mathematics competitions have been announced one after another. The students at Guangzhou Foreign Language School ISA Wenhua IB Diploma Programme once again made great achievements. Among them, in the 2022 American Mathematics Competition (AMC), they won 1 Honor Roll of Distinction, 2 Certificate of Distinction and 6 Higher than the AIME Cutoff. In the British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO), they won1 Certificate of Distinction,1 Certificate of Merit and 1 invitation to sit the BMO Round 2!

What is American Mathematics Competition (AMC)?

AMC is not only a talent pool of top mathematics talents in the United States, the application websites of many prestigious universities such as MIT, Stanford University, and Carnegie Mellon University also require students to fill in their AMC competition results. AMC plays a major role in training candidatesfor the US International Mathematical Olympiad (IMO) team, and it is the only competition system used by the USto select its IMO national team.

Julie Zhu

Winner of AMC Certificate of Distinction

In preparing for the AMC, my teachers and classmates have given me a lot of help. The inquiry-based classes of IB mathematics cultivate our thinking ability. The special mathematics competition classes provided by the school give us targeted training. After class, students discuss mathematics topics with each other and learn from each other. All of these brought great benefits to my learning of mathematics and preparation for the competition.

Winston Chen

Winner of AMC Certificate of Distinction

I think there is a big difference between the AMC and the mathematics I am learning now. In my opinion, AMC seems to pay more attention to problem solving skills in mathematics, while the IB mathematics I am studying focuses on the understanding of mathematics.

While preparing for AMC, it is inevitable that I would encounter some problems that I cannot solve. When this happened, I would first ask my classmates for help. I think this is a good way, because it becomes easy to produce new problem-solving solutions while discussing with classmates.

At the same time, I would like to thank our teacher for opening the competition training class during the CCA time, explaining the questions, and answering our questions.

Bryan Liao

Winner of Honor Roll of Distinction

I think the IB mathematics is different from the mathematics I have known before. It pays more attention to logical thinking and solutions by steps, which is very helpful for the cultivation of logical thinking skills. In the AMC, the whole test paper gave me the feeling that I was very rushed, and the difficulty of the test paper was graded. Participants need to dividetheir own answering time according to their ability. In the preparation and practice, we all encounter difficult questions. I would find teachers to answer my questions after class and during the competition training class, and the students also arrange time to share their experience in solving mathematics problems. I hope that more students who are interested in mathematics will participate in this competition in the future, and they will always have a passion for mathematics.

What is British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO)?

The British Mathematical Olympiad (BMO) is organized by the United Kingdom Mathematics Trust (UKMT) founded in 1996. It is the most difficult competition of UKMT for senior secondaryschool students. The focus is to examine students" ability to apply basic concepts of mathematics to solving mathematics problems.

Thelocal students can compete for a seat in the UK International Mathematical Olympiad team through BMO. As a highly valuable mathematics competition, it is almost a necessary competition for those pursuing Oxbridge applications. For students who want to sprint for Oxbridge and G5 universities, winning in the BMO is not only a direct showof their mathematical skills but also the best proof of their passion for mathematics.

Winner of BMO Certificateof Distinction

This is my first time participating in BMO, but I already knew about this competition before I took the IB programme. As the highest-level mathematics competition in the UK, it isa highly valuable one. It adopts the form of free response questions and tests the students" complete thoughtson answeringthe questions. It is a pity for me failing to enter Round 2 by one point. But I have also gained a lot. I hope that I will continue to work hard to enter BMO Round 2 and win some awards next year.

Eric Zhao

Winner of BMO Certificate of Merit

I am honoured to have achieved a good result in the BMO Round 1.

The overall difficulty of this competition is relatively high. There are only few questions, but the difficulty of each question is very high. It takes a lot of time to think before answering the questions. The teachers gave me a lot of help when I was preparing for the BMO, such as providing special competition training classes, etc.

While learning mathematics for the competition, I think the most important thing is not to learn a lot of new concepts, but to consolidate the concepts already learned by practicing questions, because if you cannot skilfully apply the new concepts to the questions, it is still useless even if you learn many new concepts.

Congratulations to the above award-winning students! Today"s results are rewards for and after hard work, and today"s honour is the motivation for further learning. We hope that more students will actively participate in the competition, forge ahead and achieve excellent results!
