The Australian Mathematics Competition

At Lysterfield Primary School, we promote high expectations for all our students, and want to encourage our students to challenge themselves and tackle new and interesting opportunities. In light of this, we are encouraging interested students in Grades 3-6 to participate in the Australian Mathematics Competition this year.

The Australian Mathematics Competition, run by the Australian Maths Trust, is Australia’s longest running, largest and most well-known maths competition for school students. It is made up of 30 unique problems designed to challenge and extend students’ problem solving skills. 

Students have 60 minutes to complete the competition which will occur at school sometime between Tuesday 4 to Thursday 6 August 2026  (exact date and time TBC). 

Every student who participates will receive recognition and an award at their level of achievement. The levels are:

• Participation
• Proficiency
• Credit
• Distinction
• High Distinction

The competition will cost $9.30 per student. 

For more information about the competition, watch this video from AMT, check out their website, or contact Caillin Ibbotson (caillin.ibbotson@education.vic.gov.au).

If you are interested in your child participating in the Australian Mathematics Competition this year, please add their names to the form below by Friday 12th June.
