2019 AUSTRALIAN MATHEMATICS  COMPETITION

Marian Catholic College has entered 154 students in this year’s Australian Mathematics Competition, sponsored by the Commonwealth Bank, last Thursday, August 1.

The Competition started in Australia in 1978, was the original, and is now one of the largest of its kind in the world. More than 40 countries participate in the AMC each year and is recognised as an international benchmark for mathematics performance. Consequently, this Competition will give the Mathematics teachers some indication of the students’ possible strengths and weaknesses in the identified categories for each of the school years.

The Australian Mathematics Competition is a fun competition with many of the problems set in situations familiar to students and showing the relevance of mathematics in their everyday lives. The problems are also designed to stimulate discussion and can be used by teachers and students as springboards for investigation.

The Competition consisted of 30 questions, 25 of which was a multiple choice questions, and 5 questions required a number answers. Duration of the test was for 75 minutes.
