Australian Mathematics Compeition
Last week we had some students, from Years 3 - 6, participate in the Australian Mathematics Competition, for the first time. This competition began in 1978 and is Australia’s longest running, largest and most well-known math competition for school students. The AMC contains unique problems designed each year by leading educators and academics to challenge and extend students’ problem-solving skills. It consists of 30 questions - 25 multiple choice and 5 integer questions.
We are very proud of the students, who accepted this challenge and wish them well with their results.
Feedback
I enjoyed participating in it, even though it was pretty hard. I was grateful for the dictionary and calculator. - Rebecca
It was awesome, however the last few questions were really challenging. I would like to participate again. - Christina.
