Mathematics at STM

The Australian Mathematics Competition (AMC) was held between 2 August and 4 August. The competition is an opportunity for students to test their problem solving and critical thinking abilities, with divisions for Middle Primary (Year 3 and 4) and Upper Primary (Year 5 and 6).

This year, we had a total of 16 student participating across years 3-6 on Thursday 3 August. All students thrived on the challenges and competed their very best. AMC results and certificates will be released and presented in term 4.

Here is a question from the 2022 AMC Upper Primary Division. Can you solve it?

A number of students were asked about their

favourite drink: juice, milk or water. This pie

chart shows their responses. Eighty students

chose milk. How many students chose juice?

(Answer can be found in the bottom right corner)

Thanks,
