2024 AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION

Marian Catholic College participated in this year’s Australian Mathematics Competition.

It was held last August 8 where 92 students from Years 7-10 have to answer 30 questions, 25 of which was a multiple choice questions and 5 questions that required  number answers. Students sat on the exam for 75 minutes and were not allowed to use a calculator.

This competition is one of the largest educational mathematics competition in Australia. It is an engaging problem solving that demonstrates the importance and relevance of mathematics in students’ everyday lives.

The Competition started in Australia in 1978, was the original, and is now one of the largest of its kind in the world. It is designed to attract students to the joy of maths by demonstrating its place in everyday life and making it fun. More than 40 countries participate in the AMC each year and is recognised as an international benchmark for mathematics performance.

This competition excited and inspired students’ interest in mathematical problem solving and I look forward to sharing the students’ pride in their achievements on the competition.
