Maths Talent Quest

The Maths Talent Quest (MTQ) ran again this year at our school with a large number of students involved. The Maths Talent Quest is an excellent opportunity for students to complete a project where they are exploring Maths in real world situations. 

Students had the opportunity to participate and select their own investigation topic based on their personal learning interests and apply mathematics in context. 

We have had 53 students participate and producing entries this year.
