2023 AUSTRALIAN MATHS COMPETITION

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

It was held last Thursday, August 3 in the Hall. Duration of the competition was for 75 minutes. There were 30 questions, 25 of which is a multiple choice questions, and 5 questions require a number answers. No calculator was allowed to be used.

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.

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