Math Competition

We will have summer morning classes for math competitions. Each day of class will feature one of the competitions (listed below), and each week will have different and more advanced material than previous weeks.

Classes will be taught by formal Lexington Diamond Middle School MathCounts coaches and professional teachers. There are daily classes on MOEMS, AMC8, and MathCounts, and weekend classes on AMC10 all in the morning. For more information on the LYCAL math program and achievements, please visit http://www.lycalma.org/math-achievement.

Students at Lexington (and many other) middle schools have the option to participate in school team selection tests a few weeks before each major contest as listed below:

• IMLEM (Intermediate Math League of Eastern Massachusetts): five contests from October to March. 40 students selected each time for the school team to go out / compete.

• AMC (American Mathematics Competitions):

  • AMC 8 in January (up to 8th grade)

  • AMC 10 in November (up to 10th grade)

  All middle school students registered through the school can participate in the Nationwide AMC 8 contest. About top 30 can go to AMC 10. 3rd-10th graders in proper math levels can participate in AMC contests through LYCAL as well.

• MathCounts: Selection tests for school team in early Fall. About top 20 students can participate in weekly training until early January. Top 10 students will go to regional contest. Top tier students go to the state contest.

• MOEMS (Math Olympiads for Elementary and Middle Schools): can participate at LYCAL once every month from November to March.
