ISG Dammam Students Take on the American Mathematics Competitions

Sixteen high school students at ISG Dammam took on the American Mathematics Competitions (AMC 10 and AMC 12), putting their mathematical knowledge to the test through questions that encouraged them to think beyond familiar classroom exercises.

Preparing for the competition involved regular practice and working through challenging mathematical problems. Students also had access to additional learning resources and practice questions to help them become familiar with the format and build confidence when approaching unfamiliar problems.

Unlike typical classroom exercises, AMC questions often require students to apply familiar mathematical concepts in new and unexpected ways. Covering areas such as algebra, geometry, number theory, combinatorics and probability, the questions challenged students to look for patterns, work through multiple steps and find different approaches to solving problems.

For students, the experience offered a chance to explore mathematics from a different perspective and recognize how much can be learned from taking on unfamiliar challenges. The preparation and assessment also encouraged independent learning and perseverance, skills that extend well beyond mathematics.

We are proud of all 16 students who participated and appreciate their dedication to taking on this challenge. Their enthusiasm for learning and willingness to push their abilities further reflect the curiosity and determination we value at ISG Dammam.
