Australian Mathematics Competition Success at Endeavour College
Each year, the Australian Mathematics Trust (AMT) hosts the Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC), open to students from Years 3 to 12. This prestigious event challenges students with problems that enhance
problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills.
The AMC encourages fast thinking under time pressure, giving secondary students 75 minutes to complete 30 questions.
No calculators are allowed, which sharpens mental math and estimation skills.
The competition's unique questions test students' ability to apply familiar concepts in new ways, fostering creativity.
At Endeavour College, we are proud to report outstanding results in this year's competition. Voluntary participation saw 130 students take up the challenge, with an impressive 50% achieving a Credit or higher.
Distinctions, awarded to students ranking in the top 20% for Years 8-10 (25% for seniors), were earned by eleven students, reflecting the strong mathematical talent and dedication within our community.
